It's the story of a mother, who after the death of her husband, comes to live with her daughter with piano, baggage and furniture in tow.
It soon becomes a nightmare of clutter.
The daughter can't manage to write her erotic story despite the judicious advice of her mother who knows quite a bit in the field while her daughter still has everything to learn.
Thus they have to sell up and move.
And that's when the round of visitors begins.
And the tale takes a twist.
