Somewhere in Eastern Europe circa the 19th century, Alexandre is a vagabond. This refugee from the Russian Empire in search of a true home meets Ulysse, a kindhearted but physically deformed man who is also looking for acceptance. Driven from normal society, the two settle near a supposedly haunted marsh, but soon a young girl's corpse is discovered nearby. The local villagers wrongfully suspect the two strange newcomers of murder and form a lynch mob.
