The film is narrated by the main character, whom we see as a young boy. He first tells us of the night he was born, during a horrible thunderstorm, probably the worst and darkest ever, and how that already was a bad sign that meant that his days in life would be without light. Then he tells us how he lost both his parents. His mother once went into the cellar and simply never returned - And his father died from biological warfare in some unnamed war. After that he was adopted by a strange woman who often tortured and humiliated her husband while wearing a dominatrix outfit. One day she beats the man so hard that he dies and after that the little boy is forced to take his place.
