An ordinary woman, unsure whether to do the dishes or start dinner, sits down one day and begins a novel. Full of self-doubt and self-irony, she muses on the absurdities of daily routine, the comic accidents of family life and the inner struggle of anyone attempting a first book, determined to show that giving up is not an option. Her story alternates with a second one: the novel she is actually writing, a twisting plot in which long-vanished Uncle Lyubo resurfaces and proves to be tied to her family in a very strange way. Readers point to the heroine's running dialogue with herself and the light absurdism of the inner novel.
