About the title
Olga Nikolaevna is a strong-willed woman and the head of a housing-and-utilities department who is quite pleased with her life. She is the mistress both at home and at work, keeps her husband Roman Pavlovich fully under her control, and looks after her daughter Varya. The only person who doesn't fit into her happy picture of the world is her son-in-law Viktor, whose beloved wife is due to give birth any day now. And then, one day, a storm of mutual grievances grows so intense that, right in the middle of a family celebration, the situation spirals out of control.
