Vera is eleven years old and after the death of her parents she lives with her grandmother. She doesn't understand her at all, doesn't recognize her as her beloved son and is terrified of the genes of her daughter-in-law, who was "just" a saleswoman. Vera prefers to escape into her own world, where she doesn't hear her grandmother's lamentations, ponders good and evil, and her balls become Spanish nobles...
