Agneta är fyrtionio år och har bleknat in i tapeten. De utflugna barnen hör bara av sig när de vill att hon ska swisha pengar, och arbetskamraterna har absolut noll intresse för henne. Agnetas man Magnus, fågelskådare och frisksportare, anser att ”din kropp är ditt tempel” och att templet inte ska besudlas med till exempel rödvin eller aprikosmarmelad. Lyckligtvis finns ett utrymme bakom frysen i källaren där Agneta kan ha sin marmelad. Att ligga i sängen, dricka vin i smyg och se på tv-serier där folk renoverar franska gårdar är hennes enda, hemliga njutning.
