Synopsis

The married couple Marie and Josef live in a little house outside the village. It is evening and someone knocks at the door. They are afraid to open it, even after a male voice desperately cries for help. A police officer appears at their home in the morning telling them that a man died that night not far from their home from the effects of a stroke.
