Lin Shih is married off to a butcher by her uncle.
The husband is brutish and violent and treats her
as a sexual victim by forcing her to have sex with
him almost every night before she is allowed to
eat.
The village is a typical small island community:
closed, gossipy and superstition-riddled. The moaning
caused by pain when Lin is being forced into the
act with her husband is taken by the women in the
village as cries of joy: a sign of promiscuity.
The
husband will not let Lin be fed when she refuses
to moan during love-making. One day, she faints
on the road from hunger. The husband takes her
to the slaughtering house and forces her to witness
the killings of animals. Still Lin will not moan
in bed. The husband beats her up and makes her
starve. In desperation, Lin murders her husband
in an imitation of his butchering skills.
