一位年轻男教师来到一座偏僻的村庄。当地居民彼此相处融洽且生活满足,偶尔产生的不满也都通过自由贩卖的毒品或被村里警察消灭。乡村教师结识了一名猎人,两人坠入情网。但当前者试图逃离表面的田园生活并奋起反抗时,两人的爱情面临了巨大风险。Set in the near future, Brandner's village is populated by emotionless citizens, kept in place with pills and pleasures. Once a year the wealthy people arrive to hunt in a nearby area, where the villagers are never allowed. One day a new citizen begins hunting illegally out of a simple desire to do something different. A strange, homosexual gamekeeper spots him, and the two begin an affair. They attempt to stage an uprising but are shot down.
