When a clerk from his company comes to demand an explanation for his absence, Gregor makes a great effort to open the bedroom door and show himself.

Not only a student, I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and female. No, I don’t bring in a paycheck, but my life is fulfilling, gratifying, deserving and challenging.
