Her husband Mike is a manager, and she herself works in a car dealership, which is on the verge of ruin. Their children, extremely unusual creatures, constantly keep their parents in suspense. Senior offspring Axel is a rare loafer who loves to drag around skirts. A daughter named Sue never thinks about anything, is in a state of optimistic euphoria. The youngest son, Brik, is a scholar, well-read, who is distinguished by pronounced inappropriate behavior.
