A ship sets sail but unfortunately crashes at sea. Six people survive – one woman and five men. They manage to reach a deserted island on a life raft.
After spending a few weeks on the island, the isolation and lack of intimacy start to take a toll on them. They’re all extremely lonely and sexually frustrated.
So, they reach an agreement. All five men will “marry” the woman, each for a week. So, the first man has his week with her, followed by the second man in the second week, and the rotation continues. This way, everyone gets some form of companionship and satisfaction, and they all consent to this arrangement.
This system goes on for five years, and everyone seems content. Each man gets his turn every fifth week, and the woman enjoys the company of a different man each week.
However, a few weeks into the fifth year, the woman passes away. The first week after her death is really tough, the second week is equally difficult, the third week gets even worse, the fourth week is just dreadful, and the fifth week is truly miserable.
The situation deteriorates so severely that by the sixth week, they finally bury her.
