A solitary man living in an abandoned farmhouse. His territory are the four elements: earth, water, air and fire.
He tenderly loves a sow. Three little piglets are born out of their union. He unsuccessfully attempts to wean them, but they continue to run back to their mother. Knitted goods, feeding bottles, family meals? Death is wandering about. The man hangs the piglets, the sow commits suicide. Distraught, the man buries his lover and turns to his own excretements.
