Through ten plausible stories, Manuela Donghi reinterprets some well-known clichés, giving life to different stories: some of them more amusing, like that of Martina who looked for a boyfriend so much to avoid being called a spinster, only to discover that perhaps "Si was better when it was worse ”, or Nail crushes a nail with Nicole struggling with her partner who comes out after years together.

Other more serious: in Those who have time do not wait for time they come to terms with the daily life modified by the Coronavirus and the lockdown, and in Not all evils come to harm the theme of Alzheimer's disease is addressed, however, arriving at a totally unexpected epilogue .

Ten narratives connected by stereotypes and prejudices that are confirmed or disavowed.

Surprise ending with the story Women have long hair and short brains, in which the author becomes the protagonist.
