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 an inspirational moment occurs, it is interrupted by domestic situations that claim her attention: the children, laundry, the meals. The mental load of those tasks ends up being unbearable and she reaches a breaking point.
