A duel between two very different women : an explosion of the mistress-servant relationship. Emerence is a servant, generous as only a queen without a kingdom can be. Naturally unselfish, she is deeply preoccupied by every living thing around her, but she has a strong nature and keeps her flat as a sanctuary where no one ever enters. The mistress is an intellectual, awkward with everyday things ans basic feelings. They share their universe amidst tension and misunderstanding, and their relationship smoothy turns upside down, until it reaches crisis point.
