A rampage to hit on the third man

Margit Fliesser is a computer technician in her mid-thirties, and is divorced twice with two children. She has been raised by an impoverished and religious family, lost her mother at an early age and got married at a young age - first to her school lecturer who is not serious about her, then to a blind alcoholic who is rather indulged in his own egoistical complex. While wrestling with all the unfortunate shortcomings in life, she meets her peculiarly named colleague, Hrdlitschka. As romance happens, Margit is determined not to succumb to another cliché pigeonholing women. Will she find happiness? Her Third was almost banned for a scene that was considered mildly erotic.
