In a remote farm in the Swiss Alps, a man and his wife work all day long. Paul treats his wife Rosine like his mercenary and doesn’t show any warmer feelings. But things change when a husband begins to suspect that his wife is expecting. "I'm not mistaken for any animal yet," Paul says, touching his wife's belly. Only then, when he began to take care of his wife, did Paul hire a Spanish Eusebius to work the farm. A charming Spanish girl - like a fresh breath of air for Rosine. Paul feels jealous for the first time. He almost fatally beats his wife. And only later, in the dramatic events, does Paul realize what he really feels for his wife. Realizing that he can love, he no longer wants to live with the "animal heart".
