A play about widowed Pawlina and her possessive, jealous and unemployed son Victor, in his early twenties. Set in the sixties where the female role was still undermined, in a society dictated by strict social morals and values. Victor believes that a woman's place should be at home and tries to manage the lives of his mother and his girlfriend Gina who works for Guzi, a new lawyer in town. Victor also has to suffer the speculations of the villagers who gossip about Pawlina, who is in a relationship with widower Professor Vella. A heated argument between Victor and Gina pushes Victor to take matters in his own hands, with his mother ending up paying for her own personal choices.
