content: Edited film: shows the most significant stages of an investigation into the death of a drowned villager. News is spread throughout the village; preliminary interrogations take place; some dancers gifted with magical powers attempt to decide where the blame should be placed; a hearing is held in the sultan's court. Some weeks later a second interrogation takes place with the sultan. A final decision is rendered and the court confirms it.
