      Židovka Helena má tři děti – lesbu, transsexuála a sadomasochistu. Homosexuální televizní bavič Charles a jeho asistent Shane vystupují v televizní show „Gay Over“. Barbara se po smrti svého syna – homosexuála, který zemřel na AIDS – maniakálně upíná k ručním pracím... Otočení zdánlivých stereotypů má překvapivý efekt. Jeho prostřednictvím se autor vysmívá nejen homofobii, ale i současné rozmlžené sexuální identitě či úchylné oblibě (některých žen) – „tvoření z čehokoliv“, tzv. permanentní domácí recyklaci. Co vlastně je a co už není normální? A máme vůbec právo to soudit? Nejsme jen obětí vlastních předsudků?
