Marc Stevens (Laurent Lucas) is a young traveling singer. After a concert at a nursing home a few days before Christmas, Marc takes to the road. Shortly afterwards, his van breaks down in a deserted mountain region. He is taken in by an affable yet creepy Mr. Bartel (Jackie Berroyer), an innkeeper who became psychologically fragile after his wife Gloria left him. The sexual implications of Bartel's obsession begin Marc's "ordeal".
