Lena is married to bricklayer Albert and has three children. While the offspring rebel more and more openly and massively against their father's entrenched ideas and values as they get older, Lena takes the path of silent protest. But even this provocative method has an effect after a while. In this way, after 15 years of marriage, Lena manages to free herself from the role of the oppressed wife.
