Her daughter and her small child come to visit in order to convince her to sell the house nd come back to the city, their family, and regular life. Their fears, hurts, and deeply hidden complaints about each other become entwined in a knot which cannot be untangled, only cut apart — or burnt alive along with the rest of them.
