| The child (originally Quinquin , French child ) who lives in a village on the northern French coast is on vacation and watches with his friends as a helicopter harvests a dead cow. The investigating commissioner van der Weyden insults the curious children who ride around on bicycles, including Kindkind's best friend Eve, as “idiots”. The autopsy veterinarian finds out that the dead cow has parts of a human corpse. The body's missing head is soon found, and the body is identified as Frau Lebleu, a neighbor of Kindkind. At Frau Lebleu's funeral, Aurelie, Eve's sister, sings the song Cause I Knew . | |||||||
