Rita cannot find her way in the world. She constantly practices frugality and comes to the realisation that dreams or things that are lost can be replaced by others. She sees life as a series of games; depending on the situation, this or that version of herself is put on display. To tame the chaos of her world, she writes stories and shapes truths.
