Diary of a Void

Beschreibung

"When thirty-four-year-old Shibata gets a new job in Tokyo to escape sexual harassment at her old one, she finds that as the only woman at her new workplace she is expected to do all the menial tasks. One day she announces that she can't clear away her coworkers' dirty cups -- because she's pregnant and the smell nauseates her. The only thing is . . . Shibata is not pregnant."--
