action
Hauke, son of a surveyor and small farmer, is fascinated by the sea and the dikes. When he became a servant to the local dikemaster Tede Volkerts, he was more interested in his job as a dikemaker than in the work in the stables. With this he makes himself unpopular with Ole Peters, the foreman. Hauke falls in love with the daughter of the dikemaster Elke. When they get married after the death of their fathers, Hauke becomes the new dikemaster. The new dikemaster seems eerie to the residents. They suspect he is in league with the devil. Instead of following the pagan customs of the local residents, Hauke builds a new, less steep dike. But a flood leads to disaster. Hauke has to watch how the masses of water bury his wife under them. In desperation, he also plunges into the amount of water that floods the land.
