«L. strangely can't move. She is lying in bed, but the bed is an intricate trap that has closed on her. The outside world functions without her, in institutes and on tennis courts, and in banks. Suddenly L. receives a call that sets her in motion. On her way, she meets O with whom she falls in love. But he does not come to her. Instead, L. is pursued by dealers who want to sell O to her, she is threatened and held up by employees of the Athe-ne Bank and mobile phone sellers, until L.'s newly acquired knowledge of capitalism, moral standards, the economy and dependency becomes increasingly clear to her and she then conveys this it to others. While searching for O in all corners of the city, a conflict-ridden chase commences; it ends with an explosion of customary knowledge economies.
