- When a virginal girl follows her lover into a mysterious forest, a twist of fate wrenches them apart forever. The girl struggles to be ever closer to him in this fairytale about sex, death, and pie.
- A beautiful girl is awakened by her amour in a sunny meadow. He asks her to come to the forest and after picking up a parcel she follows him. She is wearing a short flowing virginal dress. The film makes the symbolism of the transition from the open meadow to the mysterious wood and of huge cylindrical tress very obvious. The forest is dark in comparison. They seat themselves as a prelude to intimacy. She unwraps the parcel to reveal that it is a pie. The boy kisses her and she signals her willingness to continue suggesting her virginity again. She accidentally slips a finger into the red fruit beneath the pastry with more unsubtle symbolism. The boy leaves her to get something but does not return. She goes back to the meadow to find him prostrate, apparently dead from a snakebite, having dropped a pie slice. The girl drops the fruit pie upside down onto his face in shock and for the remainder of the scene his face is covered with the red fruit. The traumatized girl exhorts him to wake up. The girl begins to kiss the boy who clearly responds. She is transported as she she straddles him, eventually climaxing and in the process her white dress is stained red. Although the boy, kisses her at the denouement she sees that he is still dead when she recovers her senses. She is shown from a distance rising from the scene of the coupling and initially disoriented, makes her way across the meadow with a poignant smile on her face, covered and stained with the fruit. The entire film is accompanied to the soundtrack of Tristan and Isolde from Richard Wagner.
