Bunnyeo, who lives on the farm doing chores, is raped by Myeongjun, who works with her. She is again raped by a shop owner named Mangap and also by Cheonsu, a shop clerk who finds out about Mangap raping her. Immersed in resignation and disgust, Bunnyeo gradually feels that her emotions are turning into her lust. She begins to fall into a state of ruin, and her lover, Sanggu, becomes disappointed in her and leaves her.
