Gisela
Главная героиня, Гизела, которая живет вместе с мужем и ребенком, работает в местном супермаркете. Там она знакомится с безработными Паулем и Джорджем — двумя друзьями-антиподами, где Пауль меланхолик, а Джорж — агрессивный альфа-самец, не пропускающий ни одной юбки. После знакомства Гизела тут же принимает приглашение прийти на их вечеринку. Между ней и Паулем начинается роман, вызывающий ревность Джорджа, который всячески норовит испортить их отношения. При этом сам Пауль довольно двойственно относится к Гизеле: защищая ее перед приятелем, он уже в следующее мгновение, выбрасывает в мусорную корзину ее подарок и вовсе прогоняет ее из дома.
