The Village 1993

The story is set in a small village with odd architecture, where all the houses abut each other directly, and form a ring around the central square. The village is filled with mostly unpleasant people. A cleaning woman steals apples from a tree. The priest is a drunk. A miser takes pleasure in his hoard of gold coins. A nosy busybody woman watches everyone else. A Jerkass husband berates his put-upon wife when dinner is not to his liking. The only sympathetic characters are the put-upon wife, and the gardener, who is planting apple trees outside the village. Not coincidentally, the gardener and the wife are having an affair. It so happens that one afternoon, when the wife and the gardener are having sex in the woods, the jerkass husband kills the miser—throwing him out the window—and steals the gold. The gardener sees the miser come flying out the window, climbs a ladder to investigate, is seen, and is blamed for the crime.
