Janos is a young postman who quietly goes about his daily routine. He calls everyone in town by Uncle or Aunt, whether related or not. He does take care of his real Uncle, who is a musician and theorist, aging and sick. A rebellion is growing among the locals in the town square. Janos wants nothing to do with it, but is drawn into the role of spy by his Uncle, who holds much power. Meanwhile, a sideshow roles into the town square as well, a grotesque display of a giant dead whale. Janos is fascinated and repulsed, much the same way he might feel about the rebellion.
