ABOUT

Maggy, 63, packs boxes in a large luxurious house. Time has come to leave her golden prison, where she has lived for years under the yoke of her ex-husband. He'd promised a Dolce Vita, but owned her life as he owned the walls of the house. Now the children are grown, and Maggy has received a court order to go away. She has never worked , she has no right to anything.
