Description
In a seemingly idyllic Alpine village, two women working in a local underwear factory yearn for happiness, a stable home, and a loving partner. Their dreams, however, clash with the harsh realities of their lives, forcing them to navigate complex relationships and make difficult choices. As one finds a semblance of security through a pragmatic union, the other's romantic aspirations lead to unforeseen consequences. Jelinek masterfully employs the tropes of romantic fiction to expose the profound struggles and often tragic outcomes of women seeking fulfillment in a patriarchal society.
