Do tmy

Anna, a solitary and sick woman in a small country town, has devoted most of her life to gathering medicinal plants on a large scale, drying them and handing them in. It is June, everything is in flower, and she rides out on her old bike while the attic of her house fills with herbs. The story moves forward through a detailed 'collection plan', and its constant is Tuesday, buying day, when she impatiently visits the purchasing station. Everything else must give way: memories of a failed marriage, her father-in-law's strange death, the loss of her job, a nagging illness. Her frantic pace is not about money; the roots of her obsession go much deeper, and a strange unease bubbles under the slow surface.
