The story

At a remote Hungarian military outpost, orderly Vendel Morosgoványi performs menial labor for lieutenant Öreg Balatony Kálmán and Öreg's family while sleeping in an unheated shack next to the latrines. Morosgoványi frequently escapes into highly vivid, perverse sexual fantasies. In one ambiguous instance, Morosgoványi has sex with and impregnates Öreg's wife and "wakes up" to find himself engaged in an act of sodomy with a slaughtered pig.
