Lust (Main)

In a quaint Austrian ski resort, things are not quite what they seem.

Hermann, the manager of a paper mill, has decided that sexual gratification begins at home.

Which means Gerti - his wife and property. Gerti is not asked how she feels about the use Hermann puts her to.

She is a receptacle into which Hermann pours his juices, nastily, briefly, brutally. The long-suffering and battered Gerti thinks she has found her saviour and love in Michael, a student who rescues her after a day of vigorous use by her husband.

But Michael is on his way up the Austrian political ladder, and he is, after all, a man.
