Because Today is Saturday
7.0
A woman wakes up early because she wants to give herself a gift: time. But each spark of inspiration is cut short by household responsibilities that demand her attention, the children, the laundry, the meals. The mental load of these tasks becomes unbearable, and she reaches a breaking point.
