The film depicts a love story between a man and a woman which unfolds in simple sequences. The man seduces the woman and she follows him, entranced. Both draw out an ace of hearts from a hand of cards. The man holds a statue of a naked woman. A train enters a tunnel and moves back out again, the engine wheels crush a garland of flowers. The man leaves, tears roll down the woman's face. The woman, left alone, places a drum over her shoulders and walks to the river and stares into the swirls of water. The woman's hand covered with weeds and mud symbolizes the tragic end of the seduced woman.
