One of the Nobel Prize laureate's most poignant stories about female self-determination and the fight against threatening facelessness. On one ordinary winter day, thirty-year-old Marianne, an exemplary wife, mother and housewife, unexpectedly decides to leave her husband, who has just returned from a long business trip. . With outward prosperity, their family idyll is a sad illusion, their home is a rented “living unit” with a “creepy-sinister” atmosphere, their relationship is an inescapable loneliness for the two of them. And now this “left-handed woman” - naive, awkward, unadapted - has to leave from the “right” and understandable path and finally gain individuality.
