Returning from the funeral of her husband, the elderly Countess
Elisabeth Nadasdy is only interested
in what's in his will and not with the peasants she rules over, as can
be attested when one of those peasants is crushed under the wheels of
her carriage after begging for work from her. When the will is read, she
is dismayed to learn that she must share the inheritance with her
daughter Ilona, and she retreats
to her chambers in a foul mood. There, her young maidservant prepares
her bath, but the Countess plunges the girl's hand into the water,
scalding it to test how hot it is. Then she cuts the girl's cheek when
she drops a peach she wanted to eat, getting some of the blood on her
own face - with surprising results...
