Story is quite simple. A man (Sulev Luik) traveling with train makes a short visit to a town called Vernanda to buy a bread. When he returns to railway station he hears from station chief that train is already gone. And then he notices that his bread is clicking. Returning to bakery he sees it is totally destroyed by explosion.

And of course, one of the best cast of actors in the history of Estonian film.
