Summary: An amateur biologist escapes the bustle of the city by studying beetles in remote sand dunes. After missing the last bus, he accepts a villager’s offer to spend the night in a widow’s shack at the bottom of a deep sand pit. In the morning, he finds he is trapped. At first enraged, the man’s hatred for the woman soon turns to searing, erotic lust.
