Official Synopsis
Meta Boldt misses nothing in the house of master butcher Tramsen. She is firmly convinced that unsustainable conditions would prevail and order would be lost if she did not keep the landlord constantly informed of all the news. Unfortunately, Meta Boldt can't find out everything through glimpses through the keyhole and overheard conversations. Slowly but surely, her half-truths get her into trouble with everyone in the house, especially as she can't keep her mouth shut...
