Synopsis A retired detective, Moretti (Max Von Sydow) is asked to assist in the investigation of a series of murders that bear all the signs of a case that he solved years before. Moretti has always feared that they may have blamed the wrong person and the recent events do nothing to assuage that fear. The murders were based on a nursery rhyme found in a childrens book called 'Death Farm' and because the murders stopped after the last death, it was assumed that Moretti had gotten the killers identity correct. Giacomo (Dionisi) is the son of the last victim and offers to help Moretti finally crack the case once and for all as the murders continue and once again have a shattering impact on their lives...

Nursery Rhyme Written by Asia, this is the rhyme that all the murders in the film are based around. "It's now midnight - and in my bed I toss and fight. This is how the war began with the beasts across the land. Morning at One - the Farmer has some little boy's fun. Piggy's throat he quickly slits in victory the battle quits. MornIng at Two - the roosters cock-a-doodle doo. The instrument for this fine song makes the pleasure nice 'n long. Morning at Three - the Farmer strangles the chicken wee. Say's he, 'Won't let me sleep' yet in his bed hears not a peep. Morning at Four - here's kitty purring at the door. In the tub for an icy swim and drowning her just for a whim. Morning at Five - the little rabbit crushed alive. With rabbit's teeth she bit and fought but in the end it brought her naught. Morning at Six - now the long swan's neck he'll fix. When he cuts it from her head he knows that his last foe is dead. Now it's the break of day - the Farmer in his bed now lay. With all the weapons at his feet so he could finally go to sleep."
