Plot
Final Girl
The first story takes place in a neglected apartment in Freiz. The unnamed protagonist, a young girl, pets a guinea pig and talks about its behavior and that the animals don't like being petted at all. Then she gets a pair of poultry shears from the kitchen and goes into her father's bedroom, who is tied up on the bed. While reflecting on the castration of her guinea pig, she cuts off her father's penis with poultry shears. She then packs her suitcase. Before she leaves the apartment, she dismembers her father with an electric bread knife. When she then leaves the apartment, you can see her uninjured father looking after her.
Make a Wish
The deaf-mute couple Matthias and Laura walk through an abandoned industrial site. In sign language, Matthias tells of an incident from the West Besmenian Revolution. When his grandmother's village is stormed and wiped out by "Holy Besmenia", a group of followers of Ochsenbeinism, his grandmother is also to be killed. With the help of an amulet, however, she apparently succeeds in exchanging the soul of the leader Bierbaum with that of her father. First "Bierbaum" then kills her father, but then also all other members of "Holy Besmenia"
Matthias is just about to continue telling the story when Neo-Ochsenbeinists appear around the leader Jakob and Franz. They begin to torment the couple and severely injure Laura. With the last of her strength she takes out the amulet and apparently she can use it to send Matthias into Jakob's body and vice versa. "Jakob" first has to get used to his newly acquired language, while "Matthias" desperately tries to convince his comrades that he is really Jakob. Now “Matthias'” martyrdom begins. He is tortured and suffers numerous injuries. He is then locked in a storage room. When Laura asks "Jakob" in sign language what he is doing and tells him he has a choice, he replies in sign language that he doesn't have one. The film switches back to the earlier story: Saint Besmenia leader Bierbaum kills Laura's grandmother's father, and Saint Besmenia members, still alive, leave the shocked girl behind. Matthias is mocked one last time, doused with petrol and then burned. The Neo-Ochsenbeinists leave Laura dying. One of them returns shortly after and steals the amulet.
