An ironic picture of petty-bourgeois family pressures on fragile and maladjusted individual, set in communist era. Asia is very different than her twin Basia. She speaks very little, does not know what she wants, doesn’t dream about a car or managerial position and thus is about to become a spinster. The family tries its best to marry her off. Confronted with the possible candidates, Asia turns to mysticism and considers joining the Order. The pressure builds up in the family.
