Not speaking the language, he must rely on his wife to negotiate the purchase of this house. Covering a period of seven days, he discovers that the ownership of the house is disputed and therefore with the help of his wife he sets forth to try and find out who the owners are. This story is narrated with the voice of his wife and is as much about their relationship as it is about house buying in Croatia.
