The story's narrator—a village schoolteacher—reminisces about a series of strange events in a northern German village on the eve of World War I. A doctor is injured when he is tripped by a rope while riding home, and as an investigation begins, the pastor punishes two children who return late and ties white ribbons symbolizing purity around their wrists. The next day, a farmer's wife dies in an accident, and the schoolteacher finds a boy named Martin walking on a high bank by the river; Martin claims he wants to know if God is punishing him. The teacher meets the baron’s maid, Eva, and they make a good impression on each other. Soon, the baron hosts a harvest festival, but the dead farmer’s son, believing the baron is responsible for his mother's death, vandalizes the baron’s vegetable garden in anger. The potential instigators of all these malign events remain undetected, while arson and beatings of children continue to occur. The following year, after Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated, the teacher seems to uncover some clues but is firmly stopped by the pastor. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and the FIPRESCI Prize.
