Jacob, a farmer, returns from the war to his wife Marie and begs the landlord for a plot of land to rent. The landlord grants the request, but only for a barren, rocky, useless acreage. The pair struggle to make do on this land, but then the landlord demands Maria leave her husband to serve as a wet nurse to his married daughter Anya's new baby, on threat of eviction. While nursing the daughter's baby, Maria receives unwelcome attentions from the daughter's husband and a scandal erupts, ruining Maria in her husband's eyes. When she escapes from her employers and seeks to return home, the police give her a yellow passport signifying a prostitute, further degrading her. She approaches home, unsure of the reception that awaits her.

However, the donkey eats Massoud's father's lunch and is taken to a butcher.
