The story of a young woman with mental problems told in a non-chronological fashion.

1941, dans un village juif d'Europe de l'Est. Schlomo, le fou du village, arrive essoufflé devant le conseil des sages pour leur annoncer une terrible nouvelle : les Allemands tuent et déportent vers des destinations inconnues tous les habitants juifs des shtetls voisins. Le conseil se réunit et après maintes querelles, une idée jaillit de la bouche même du fou : pour échapper aux nazis, ils organiseront un faux train de déportation !

RIP was about the funeral company Vingerhoets. This business is losing its paterfamilias and boss. The widow Victorine Vingerhoets and her nephew, Willie Haezevoets, who live at home, have to take over the business and keep it going. Willie is patronized as a son and doesn't feel like going through life as an undertaker because he is desperately looking for a wife. The input of friend of the house Raymond van Derre (also known as Raymondke) often ensured that things never went the way they should.
