Things are in a right state in the little village of Steinberg-Schmuggling. First, a mysterious death casts a shadow over the idyll of village life, and then there's the visit of a stranger sent by the diocese to inspect the little village church. And all this at a time when the mayor is away.
A sense of unease, bewilderment and resistance spreads amongst the villagers. But why? Is there something to hide in the parish, or is it simply customary in a small village to be sceptical of change?
