A beat-up camper approaches a snow-covered mountain military check point. A pale sun is rising as a prelude to a chilly morning. The passengers are two old people who are trying to avoid the national draft of their grandson. They hide the kid in a coffin, pretending he's dead. But the commander discovers the young deserter.

A strange, inhuman scream echoes around the high mountains, awakening two mountain climbers who have fallen asleep on top of a ridge. At the end of the day, the climbers take refuge in a chalet, which strangely enough, doesn't exist on their map. The owner, a mountain dweller with an enigmatic attitude, welcomes them in.
