• Act I: Grace is taken in by Tom Edison (Paul Bettany), a self-proclaimed "writer." The town agrees to hide her in exchange for minor chores. The screenplay is idyllic, almost too sweet.
• Act II: The police arrive. The town's citizens grow bolder. They demand more work, then sexual favors, then imprisonment. The PDF is essential here because von Trier describes the erosion of morality without showing graphic violence—relying on implication and the coldness of the chalk floor.
• Act III: The town kidnaps Grace, chains her with a heavy iron collar, and she is systematically r*ped by the men of the town. (The script handles this with disturbing restraint, focusing on the sound of the iron collar scraping the floor).
• The Finale: The gangsters arrive. The gangster boss (James Caan) reveals that Grace is his daughter. She spares his life, but then orders him to "kill the town." Everyone—every man, woman, and child—is executed. The film ends with the line: "She had to be hard on them, Tom. Because they had it coming."

• Tom’s failed romance with Grace; police search posters appear
