Synopsis: Antichrist is made up of a Prologue, four chapters (entitled "Grief", "Pain (Chaos Reigns)", "Despair (Gynocide)" and "The Three Beggars"), and an Epilogue.

A couple (He and She) make passionate love, while their young son Nic awakens, climbs out of his crib, opens his baby gate, and climbs onto a desk by a window. The "Three Beggars" first appear as three toy figures on the desk, each figure inscribed with the name of one of the chapters on its base: "pain", "grief" and "despair". Nic brushes them off before climbing to the window. Opening the window, Nic falls to his death on the snowy ground below. At the same moment, She is seen climaxing silently.
