When winter gusts Otto into Martha’s life they both feel a charge in the air. Martha is a butcher for organ meat, like her parents before her, and she takes pride in her hard work. Otto works on a packing line and is disturbed by her work. At the beginning of the relationship, Martha writes a diary to share with Otto and to keep hold of the beautiful things. Martha invites Otto to stand next to her and share everything together. Otto repels Martha’s advances and tramples on her so he can be on top. She stands up for herself. As the days get longer and hotter, they plane away at each other so pieces of themselves fall to the ground. Otto uses force. Martha yields more and more, making changes in her life to please him, until the pressure kills her wild heart. Otto leaves for good. Martha is alone.
