But one day she will have to take off her rose-colored glasses and see her life without embellishment. Cruel, but sobering. We must pay tribute to the desperate Irish housewife, she does not give up and does not sink into hopeless depression, but instead. . . agrees to a strange offer: to swap houses for the summer with a stranger living in New England. American Marilyn's desire to change the situation also did not arise out of thin air, although these two women, in addition to the ocean, seem to share too much — they have different personalities and experiences, different problems, different life dramas. Perhaps there is only one thing in common: both have a secret that cannot be revealed to anyone. And when they meet face to face at the end of the summer, they will have something to discuss...
