Richard recently left Vanessa for a younger and more beautiful woman. Now broken by life, the faded ex-wife lives with her aunt, drinks a lot, constantly lies and tries to lie in wait for her “replacement” somewhere. Nellie is Richard's lovely, energetic fiancée. She is going to quit her job to live happily and raise children with her ideal husband. Do these women have anything in common? Do they really know the man who is connecting them? And do they know themselves? Gradually, behind a seemingly simple love triangle, a complex, intricate story of suffering, deception and violence is revealed. Only the ending will explain to the reader the motives of the characters - as well as to them.
