The narrative unfolds in a rural setting, exploring themes of suffering, familial duty, and the burdens of life, focusing on characters such as the ailing Else and her husband Wilms, who struggle under the weight of their circumstances. At the start of the story, we find ourselves in a dimly lit sickroom where a woman named Else is suffering, watched over by her husband, Wilms, who feels the strain of her illness and the responsibilities of their failing farming livelihood. As the story progresses, we witness Wilms's internal turmoil as he navigates the tension between his duty to his wife and the pressing challenges of farm management, including the imminent threat of a foreclosure by creditors. The atmosphere is heavy with sadness and desperation, evoking a sense of impending crisis as the couple grapples with the reality of their situation, underscored by the sound of rain and the encroaching gloom of their lives.
