Detectives Grijpstra and De Gier investigate a man found hanged in an oriental meditation centre. Though ruled suicide, an attempted break‑in that night revives the case and stalls the inquiry, making everyone involved a suspect. The film adapts Jan‑Willem van de Wetering’s novel “The Corpse in the Haarlemmer Houttuinen.”
