An intelligent woman, a saleswoman in a second-hand bookshop, is non-confrontational and easy-going. It seems that she has long forgotten about herself and will endlessly tolerate, forgive and adjust. On a narrow road, her car can't pass around the car of a man who never backs up. What will she do? Will she give way or will she finally assert her rights?
