One of the main activities of the inhabitants, in a village near the border, is small business with their neighbours on the other side. The village postman, a fat man, who is very shy, is reluctant to participate in these activities, but does so at his wife's insistence. One day, he sets out with a group of other people on bicycles, but he soon gets tired and lags behind. On the edge of the road, on the other side of the border, there is a group of prostitutes. One of them, who matches the postman's size, tries to talk him into following her into the cornfield.
