Ronnie lives in a small sleepy village and is the owner of a small company for deep-frozen goods. Daydreams, contact ads, the firemen's brassband, the weekly visits at his shrink and his buddy Lars' cynical remarks about air guitar and vinyl-records are the highlights of Ronnie's life. Already, as a kid, he had been under the thumb of his control obsessed mother. Ronnie's feelings are as deep-frozen as his goods. Until the day, a wonderful being (one of the female kind) strands in the village. The local priest hires the young girl, with the name of Zoya, as housekeeper and within days, every male of the village is infatuated with her. Ronnie also falls for Zoya and, lucky for once, marries her. However, since the presence of Zoya, strange things have happened in the village. Everybody who tries to search in Zoya's unknown past dies, disappears. Slowly that well-known fear sneaks into Ronnie's body: man's fear of women.

The movie starts on a morning in January 1945. The spectator is advised of the real events on which the movie is based. The first pictures show images of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, and afterwards the inside of barrack 20 – the “death block” – is shown. 500 Russian soldiers, who have refused to fight for Germany after being arrested, sleep on the floor. Then the wake-up-call rings. Having been put on a harsh diet, many get up only laboriously, while some are completely unable to do so any more.
