A beetroot lays in the middle of the town. People passing by wonder why the beetroot is there. More and more people stop to take a look at what is happening, even a police officer on a horse is summoned. And while everyone is still wondering, the horse eats the beetroot. What an amusing incident! As the group splits up, one person didn’t notice the commotion at all. Engrossed in the newspaper, she drops a piece of apple – right where the beetroot was before.

»Beetroot« is an observation of people’s behaviour in public when something unexpected happens and how problems sometimes simply dissolve by themselves.
