Ove Porath

Devout Christians Töre and Märeta send their only daughter, the virginal Karin, and their foster daughter, the unrepentant Ingeri, to deliver candles to a distant church. On their way through the woods, the girls encounter a group of savage goat herders who brutally rape and murder Karin as Ingeri remains hidden. When the killers unwittingly seek refuge in the farmhouse of Töre and Märeta, Töre plots a fitting revenge.

Director Torbjörn Axelman and singer Lee Hazlewood philosophize about their lives. In their vicinity are the psychics Fedra, mysteriously talking about tigers, the forces of evil that constantly threaten.
