In a time when the first rumors about mining and railroads loom up, a heady and fatal love story takes place on a remote farm surrounded by wild and scenic nature:
What you take from the land, you also have to return to it.
Jildau, an independent female farmer, saves the life of a badly injured deserter. Her three farm hands, with whom she shares the bed on Sundays by rotation, ignite into jealousy when she transforms the young stranger into her chosen one. Passion drives all in the direction of a tragedy.
