A young German woman living in London visits her doctor, Dr. Seligman. During the visit she starts talking and keeps talking and does not stop talking... The result is a torrential monologue in which the girl speaks openly while the doctor examines her and she sees only the top of her head . As the parliament progresses, the reader will discover that Dr. Seligman is Jewish and that the narrator feels the need to open up to him as a German outraged by how her compatriots handle the past. That outrage of hers led her to land through her, although she has now had to return for the death of her grandfather. But the discomfort she feels also extends to her condition as a woman, and her story also addresses established roles, her perception of her body, the strength of desire, her conflicts with identity and sexuality or the fantasies that run through her. mind. The young woman also talks about the overwhelming presence of mothers or about the physical transformations understood as historical reparation, and she loses herself in priceless ramblings about German bread and its relationship with oral sex or the bizarre uses -also sexual- of the tail of a squirrel. And so, talking and talking, she will end up revealing the true reason for her medical visit...
