Andreas, who is ten, has been brought up by his grandmother. When she dies, he removes a putto from the crucifix placed upon her, puts it in his mouth and does not speak again.
The attempts by adults to make a normal child out of him only cause him to flee deeper into his fantasy world - a village of snow. At its center is a snowman with whom Andreas converses.
Both have families, both are gripped by a perilous passion. Simon, school professor, and Helga, wife of a successful internist, get to know each other on their daily journey to kindergarten. They fall in love, but how should it go on?
