For 15 years Martin has been trying to forget what he saw that night, but the ghosts of his childhood have been waiting for him. After a long time, he and his girlfriend Gina rather reluctantly visit his home village in the mountains again. It is St. Nicholas Day. On St. Nicholas Day, Martin’s grandfather once died. Martin would prefer to keep out of all of this. There is excitement in the village, because the “Passen”, the traditional Krampus groups are on the road again.
