On the day the family pet - a rabbit - dies, Mrs. J, a modest middle-aged widow, a former administrative clerk, decides to: bury the rabbit, wash a sink full of dishes, go to the store, dig up an old family pistol. She is determined to kill herself on the anniversary of her husband's death. In a week’s time. Mrs. J decides to go to a stonemason and hire him to place her picture on the tombstone; to return a borrowed chair to her neighbor; to visit for the first time the hyper-market where older daughter Anna works; to collect her severance pay from the bankrupt factory she spent half her life working in; to correct a typo in her name on her birth certificate. Mrs. J decides to do all that. But to start doing all that she needs certificate about her employment over the past 20 years. In a country which is going through social transition and administrative reform, this will be highly complicated. Because living in transition is complicated. And dying is even more complicated.
