Durante el día, Lera estudia al ser humano y sus necesidades a través de encuestas de opinión, que son una práctica educativa en el instituto; por la noche, baila bajo el seudónimo de Gerda en un club para mantenerse a sí misma ya su madre. Las personas que conoce son tan desafortunadas como su familia. Su padre se ha ido recientemente por otra mujer, pero él regresa constantemente a casa, incapaz de hacer su elección y, por lo tanto, hace intolerable la vida de las personas cercanas.

El mundo adulto, invariablemente desafortunado, que Lera observa día y noche, parece desesperanzado.
