A retired police officer discovers a dead body on a frozen lake. When his own family members become the prime suspects, he decides to start his own investigation.

The Graz chief investigator Sascha Bergmann and his colleague Eva Merz from the Spusi try to combine the official with the romantic, but unfortunately a routine case in the tranquil East Styrian hill country unexpectedly degenerates into work: What initially looks like the suicide of a drunk turns out to be poorly disguised murder! This in turn calls Bergmann's partner Sandra Mohr onto the scene, who puts herself in danger in her investigative zeal.

Archaic moments from the past 2,000 years, dealing with love, jealousy, betrayal, hatred, and war. At the center of each story is a man of action: someone who, based on their religious, ethical, moral, or personal convictions, stands up against the prevailing opinion, the dominant society, or a ruling political system.

Village policeman Gasperlmaier has a tough time in his third case. He's immediately summoned from a funeral to the bathroom of a family home. There, he finds a dead body. Together with his new superior, the investigation begins. But the first death is followed by a second. More and more pieces of the puzzle are piecing together a grim picture from the past. There's little time left for Gasperlmaier and his new boss, and it seems his mother-in-law is also involved.

Puppets! Pixels! Anime! Live action! Stock footage! Lumpennerd Johannes Grenzfurthner gives an ideotaining cinematic revue about important political concepts. Everyone is talking about freedom! Privacy! Identity! Resistance! The Market! The Left! But, yikes, Johannes can't tolerate ignorant and topically abusive comments on the "Internet" anymore! Supported by writer Ishan Raval, in this film, Johannes explains, re-evaluates, and sometimes sacrifices political golden calves of discourse. Not to be used with false consciousness or silicone-based lubricant.
