In Differdange, in the South of Luxembourg, six unemployed men decide to create the "Dole Club", whose rules forbid its members to work, even in the very unlikely event that they are offered a job. Geronimo, Théid, Frunnes, Sonny Boy, Abbes and Petz all agree to abide by the strict regulations of the club. In accordance with them, they manage to survive. But they can do it only on petty theft and other swindles, which is bound to end badly...

Paul est un neurochirurgien de soixante ans. Quand on est marié à Lucie, le bonheur ne connaît jamais d’ombre. Mais un jour, des bouquets de roses commencent à être livrés anonymement chez eux au moment même où Lou, une jeune fille de vingt ans, ne cesse de croiser le chemin de Paul. Alors commencent à tomber les masques : les uns et les autres sont-ils vraiment ce qu’ils prétendent être ? La vie de Paul et Lucie est-elle celle dont ils avaient rêvé ? Qui ment et qui est vrai ? Est-il encore temps, juste avant l’hiver de la vie, d’oser révéler les non-dits et les secrets ? Où sont les monstres et qui sont les anges ?

Ronnie lives in a small sleepy village and is the owner of a small company for deep-frozen goods. Daydreams, contact ads, the firemen's brassband, the weekly visits at his shrink and his buddy Lars' cynical remarks about air guitar and vinyl-records are the highlights of Ronnie's life. Already, as a kid, he suffered from being under the pressure of his power- and manhood-fixed mother. Ronnie's feelings are as deep-frozen as his goods. Until the day, a wonderful being - one of the female kind - strands in the village. The local priest hires the young girl, a groupie with the name of Zoya, as housekeeper and within days, Zoya turns the whole manship of the village mad and horny. Also Ronnie falls for Zoya and, well yes, lucky for once, marries her. However, since the presence of Zoya, strange things have happened in the village. Everybody who tries to search in Zoya's unkown past dies, disappears. Slowly that well-known fear sneaks into Ronnie's body: men's fear of women.
