A Public Prosecutor, in the course of investigating the apparently motiveless murder of a bank employee, suffers an aberration of the mind. Lost in thoughts of escape from duty and responsibility the Prosecutor loses his identity; finding it in the legend of Count Oederland. The Count, whose name translates literally as ?Count Barren Land is a fairy tale character who chops down all those who stand in his way with an axe. The Public Prosecutor s private act of revolt becomes an infectious underground movement. As more and more people join him and ?take to the axe , he becomes the leader of a movement for freedom - responsible for the whole nation - but is this the freedom he dreamt of?
