A teenage thief breaks into the home of a woman of ninety-three and ends up trapped in her bathroom, with her standing guard on the other side of the door. Nobody listens to her any more, so for four days she talks to her captive audience: about her parents, the men she loved, small things and big ones. Her monologue, now funny, now painful, becomes a settling of accounts with her own past.
