Lapači prachu

The heroine, a young woman of today, refuses children and motherhood, which she sees as an escape from loneliness and a way to gain lifelong power over another person. Her complicated bond with her sister unfolds step by step as a positional battle full of traps and landmines, in which two approaches to life clash: motherhood as fulfilment and a life fortified against intruders from outside, the norm and the 'abnormal'. Gradually she works her way towards an unspoken, suppressed truth that has sent her mother to prison for many years. Running from herself and from reality, the daughter never visits, and her silent sense of guilt distorts her whole past and present.
