Synopsis: A road with dangerous curves winds up a rocky mountain. At its base live Rudolf and Anton, two brothers outcast from society. The curvy road is the source of their livelihood, as cars often veer off the road to crash right in front of their house. The fall is so steep that the crashed travelers are always dead. Rudolf repairs the cars and sells them. Anton finds his fulfillment in writing the sermons and preparing burials for the victims. After every accident, he sends a letter to the secretary of Traffic to warn about the danger of this deadly road. Nothing changes. Twenty-four accidents have occurred but with the crash of the twenty fifth car, everything will be different. For the first time ever, there is a survivor.
