When the patriarch of the family dies unexpectedly, everything collapses: domestic harmony, financial security, and the illusion of control. The widow and her three daughters must quickly accommodate themselves to new conditions – but how, when they’ve never managed a budget and are suddenly besieged by lawyers, notaries, and creditors…? What happens when everything changes overnight, but there’s no time to grieve because the machinery of economy never stops?  We follow the story of the four women having trouble adapting themselves, lacking time to catch their breath and see what’s going on. It is hard to tell who is the victim and who is to blame. We all are voyeurs of other people’s lives: what we perceive as a comedy may, in fact, be a bitter tragedy.
