No One Writes to the Colonel

El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

Also known as Pas de lettre pour le colonel

Every Friday, the Colonel puts on his only suit and goes to the dock to await a letter announcing the arrival of his pension. But the townsfolk all know that this pension will never come. His wife also knows it, and even he knows it. But he is still waiting, living with the pain of the death of his son.
