A lady in a Seventeenth Century dress stands on the edge of a lake and looks out over the water. When we approach her the lady lifts her dress up and we disappear underneath her skirts. In there a small theatre piece takes place. A young farm boy proclaims, and acts out how he was seduced by a fallen woman, in front of a live audience. Later he finds her defiled corpse back on a field. A short bit of black and white footage shows what has really happened, or at least what the boy claims has happened. A story about the loss of innocence, and a 'whodunnit' as well.
