Is it OK to cheat the state if you find out it's cheated you? The main character in this crazy black comedy would give a loud "Yes!" Art restorer Claudia is waiting to be paid for a major commission, but the city just won't settle its bill with her. Thank heavens for Grandma, who supports Claudia financially. So it's a real problem when the old lady dies. Claudia's girlfriends – who are also her employees – propose a solution. Arguing that granny would hate to see her go bankrupt, Claudia, without further ado, stashes her aged relative in the freezer in order to divert her pension to her own pocket. The trick works until one day a painstaking tax inspector, Simone, turns up and falls head over heels for Claudia. Gradually, her carefully constructed pack of lies starts to fall apart.
