It is Saturday, a day of rest. A woman wakes up early so that she can give herself a birthday present: some time to write. But whenever she has an inspirational moment, it is interrupted by domestic situations that claim her attention: the children, laundry, meals, her husband... The mental load of those tasks ends up being unbearable and she reaches breaking point.
