Dida and Mima are sisters. They spent their early childhood in very difficult conditions, wandering around and depending on each other. In 1980, they were placed in an orphanage. The narrator, Dida, describes her life first in a diagnostic institute, then in the orphanage, and with feigned ease, she depicts the children and adults who became her extended family. However, the pivotal moment in her life isn't the loss of her parents but a tragedy that took place at the turn of 1989 and 1990. After an unfortunate incident during a school trip, when a child goes missing, attention shifts to the main caregiver and his life. This experience shapes the protagonist’s future path, and by the end of the story, she is a forty-year-old lonely woman working as a caregiver.
