The Hunsrück in the 1980s, a woman's life in the provinces, seen through her daughter's eyes. One subject rules the family: the mother's weight. Is this beautiful, headstrong, unpredictable woman too fat? Her ambitious husband decides that she is, and that her weight is to blame for everything he is denied: promotion, social advancement, the respect of the village. He controls the money and the daily quarrels, and even the child is ashamed of her. Yet the daughter of Silesian refugees, who wanted more from life, keeps fighting to decide for herself.
