Dark slapstick comedy with a detective plot, loosely based on a story by Agatha Christie. The gentle music of Suk’s Serenade in E flat major underlines a bitter story of a wealthy family whose eldest member suddenly dies. It would all be “fine” if only it were not a murder. The story is also a satirical sketch of family disputes in which the grief over the loss of a beloved person is quickly replaced by a mutual grudge, suspicions and, most importantly, the desire to inherit property.
