A man and a woman live in a remote farm. Their life seems calm and monotonous, until it´s disrupted by a pack of wolves attacking their sheep. Unexpected visit of a butcher while the woman is alone at home increases tension between the husband and wife. The man does not answer messages on his mobile, when his wife is present. Despite the obvious discrepancy, they silently make love in the evening. The next day, the man and the woman drive to a nearby village to sell a lamb and they stop at the cemetery by a child's grave. Before returning home, the man leaves the woman alone in a restaurant on the pretext of going to bring meal to his friend. The man is in bed with another woman. In the evening, the man returns home alone. The next morning, a police car drives to the farm.
