Presents the tale of a man held captive with a woman at the bottom of a sandpit.
Schoolteacher Niki Junpei (Eiji Okada) goes on an expedition to collect insects that inhabit sand dunes. When he misses the last bus home, the villagers suggest that he stay the night. They guide him down a rope ladder to a house in a sand quarry. The villagers expect him to become the woman's husband and to assist her in digging sand. He becomes the widow's lover, but he still yearns to leave. One morning, using an improvised grappling hook, he escapes from the sand dune and runs away.
