« A woman who lives in the forest is a real demon. Hot-tempered and mocking, she discourages anyone who gets too close to her.
A man, devastated by his wife's death, befriends the shrew, whose strange behaviour he finds even so unbearable. One day, the woman falls into a ravine and cannot climb back up by herself. No one helps her because of her irascible nature. The widower decides, however, to throw her food and water bottles regularly.
But, after several days without any visitors, the worried woman finally manages to climb over the rocks and the gathered water bottles. After a few hours, she finds a hut where her recently deceased saviour lies. She discovers a letter indicating the place where lives the presumably hungry shrew and also revealing his long illness and his liking for this woman.
She realizes that they cared about each other. From the edge of a ravine, she then jumps into the void. »
