Andy is a young man who does abrasive blasting for a living. He lives in Hengelo, a small dull town in the eastern part of The Netherlands. One day, he decides to quit and to leave for Amsterdam. Armed with a cheese cleaver, he attacks a passenger in the train. In Amsterdam he attacks several people with that cheese cleaver. He meets with Ella, who works as a model. She hopes that Andy may help her to escape her decadent life in Amsterdam. After visiting a party, where Andy once again attacks a man with the cheese cleaver, they steal a car and drive to Hengelo. For Ella, this is even a worse place to live. When Andy violently robs a tobacco store, Ella turns him over to the police and travels back to Amsterdam. Already in that very train she finds a new lover.
