A young bell ringer starts on a path through a snow-covered forest towards a nearby village. What awaits him is a congregation and a traditional procession, a rite to dispel the evil forces, banish winter and summon spring. On the way there he is struck with fear as he faces the embodiment of evil and winter. He hears a bell ring out in the cold silence, which gives him the courage to overcome these challenges.
