A schoolteacher and amateur entomologist travels to a remote coastal region to search for rare insects among the dunes. Tricked by local villagers and lowered into a vast sand pit, he is forced to live with a young widow in a house perpetually threatened by encroaching sand. Condemned to shovel sand without end to keep the house from being buried, he shifts uneasily between rage, desire, and an inexplicably growing acceptance of his fate.
