Imagine waking up because a drop of water hits you right
in the face, from the ceiling. Your apartment is damp, the
dirt, dust, and constant noise of the construction site on
the roof is invading your home day in, day out.
It’s a strategy, Eva (41) suspects. And when she learns that
the house had been sold to an investment shark, it’s clear
to her, that the plan is to drive people with old leases and
low rents out. People like her. But you can’t play games
with Eva. Eva loves this house, she grew up here, her son
plays in the courtyard with the kids of her own childhood
friends. So, Eva has a mission now. She runs up and down
the stairs, and up again, gathering information, earning
the worker’s trust, and most importantly getting all the
neighbours together.
But to be honest – and she won’t admit it – Eva also
needs the distraction from her personal problems.
Because she cheated on her husband. And he moved out.
Refusing to talk to her, unless it’s organisational things
about their son.
When her neighbours consider cutting a deal with the
investment shark, Eva – scared of losing everything that
matters to her – spins out of control: she intervenes,
manipulates, and destroys. Risking her apartment and all
her relationships.
