Ihr Leben besteht nun aus wöchentlichen Deutschkursen, einem schlecht bezahlten Job als Reinigungskraft in einem Büro und Abenden, die sie allein mit ihren Gedanken verbringt. Die Hauptfigur ist eine von vielen, die sich entfremdet und verloren fühlen, aufgrund der zerbrochenen sozialen Verbindungen zu ihrer Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, sowie unsicheren Gedanken über die Zukunft.
