The story is about a 20-year-old boy, Hendri, who arrives on the doorstep of his senile, reclusive grandfather in a retirement village. His world is soon infested by garden ornaments, bingo nights, and odd "old ballie" behavior. While sneaking a late-night cigarette, Hendri follows five silhouetted figures into the forest on the outskirts of the small town and finds more than he expected.
