Synopsis by Kristie Hassen
While on tour in Yugoslavia, members of a German men's choir find themselves stranded when their bus runs out of petroleum. In the small village nearby live only women, all of whom are dressed in black. The women lost all the men in their village when, during the war, they were taken as prisoners by German soldiers and killed. Rather than help these German tourists, the women are hostile to them, even going as far as trying to kill them.
