Harriet smiles
Harriet‘s weight of 190 kilos (420 lb) dominates her life. Her job as an accountant allows her to work from home so she stays inside all the time, has food and groceries delivered to her. Her mother lives upstairs and is constantly nagging her 50-year old daughter about everything, from the food she eats to the clothes she wears. The only thing Harriet looks forward to are her weekly Zoom-meetings with her coworker Martin , whom she is secretly in love with. When she befriends her young pregnant neighbour Sonja, Harriet starts to open up and suddenly things begin to change…
In short, tense chapters Andrea Heinisch chronicles life with obesity, the complexity of mother-daughter-relationships and how we are in charge of how our life turns out.
