Jelena has had enough of life. Her husband died a year ago, and she feels tired and lonely – in spite of her two daughters and her mother-in-law who all share her flat.

But beforehand there are a number of things to sort out: she needs to return an armchair she borrowed from a neighbour. She also needs to get a mason to put her portrait photograph on her gravestone and renew her health insurance card. Gradually, this quiet, humble woman begins to realise that nothing’s simple in a country that’s constantly swinging back and forth between torment and transition.
