It is the shortest of the four abele spelen ("able plays") contained in the Van Hulthem Manuscript, comprising 625 lines in rhyme.
The play deals with the battle between Winter and Summer and their role in arousing erotic love.
The main figures Winter and Somer and their companions have a fierce debate about which of the two is the most important season of the year for making love.
With tempers running high, they decide to have a duel to see who is right; they both expect to win to get rid of the other for all time.
While both are preparing to fight, Moyaert runs to seek the intervention of the goddess Venus as the arbiter of questions of love.
