Not having any other means to survive, she turns to stealing, but is quickly apprehended and severely sentenced. She tries to cover her tracks and takes on the identity of Marija, a successful scientist who is preparing her PhD in psychoanalysis. The real Marija learns about this identity theft, which awakens an interest in Slavica's way of life. The two of them switch identities and discover worlds which are sure to change them.

The daughter's first birthday, and everything has to be perfect: the dresses fit, the garden gleams. But behind the façade, things are crumbling. For weeks, Ana has planned this party as if it could save her from her own exhaustion. A feminist commentary on the patriarchal conventions of the new-old upper class: as neatly pressed on the outside as it is sour-tempered underneath.
