Katharina's husband isn't coming home for the weekend - again - so she's on her own with their chaotic daughter Helli, and son Alex. A friend from college is coming around tonight and she's wondering if she should try to seduce him - but first she needs to do the shopping and housework, find the neighbour's severed thumb and catch a couple of escaped rodents. When all that's sorted, perhaps she'll have time to think about the thing she's been trying not to think about - the lump she's found in her breast. Because you can't just die and leave a huge mess for someone else to clean up... can you?
