The camera emerges from between a young woman's bare legs as they part to reveal a green field. A nurse-like woman in a white uniform approaches the girl lying in the field and brandishes huge, rusty tongs, with which she reaches between the girl's spread legs. In another part of the field, a young man in a school uniform is being tormented by robed professors. He runs away from the professors and finds the girl in the field. He pictures her as a coffin. Pictures of the field shot from between the girl's legs are inter-cut with images of the boy lying down in the coffin. He appears on the outside of the coffin and closes the lid on himself.
