In the beginning of the last century in the Frisian Mound village of Hegebeintum a number of archeological excavations were carried out that were very important for the reconstruction of the Frisian history. A large number of objects were found including a mysterious and damaged black wooden disk. The visual artists Patrick Gofre & Marten Winters looked for the origin and the significance of this object. They stumbled very quickly upon the Muridee Sorix, a Frisian primitive mouse that left it's traces in the western culture. The directors consulted and interviewed a large number of experts. This film is a mixture of fiction and reality, an associative quest that follows several traces. One of them leads to Mickey Mouse.
