An old man has hiccups sitting on a bench, a drunken youth snores on a carriage, a kind old lady picks lilies of the valley, women sew in the dressmaker's shop, men are bowling in a pub, the bees make honey, a machine harvests the wheat that in the mill will be made into flour, and then into dumplings in Grandma's kitchen – and thoughout it all a policeman investigates a murder... A film with the deceptive appearance of a documentary, where each scene contains clues to a detective story.
