Luisa, a 50-years-old divorcee has Tuesday's off. Tuesday are when Luisa shows the zoo to her grand-son or invites her friend for dinner. Her friend who only likes sad men. Until the birth of her son, Luisa was a dancer. She had to stop dancing. Now she's fat. But one Tuesday, she dances again.

Luisa ha cinquant'anni ed è divorziata. Il martedì è il suo giorno libero e ne approfitta per portare il nipotino allo zoo, o per invitare a cena un'amica a cui piacciono solo uomini tristi. Prima della nascita del figlio, Luisa era ballerina. Adesso è grassa. La gravidanza ha segnato la fine della sua carriera. Ma un martedì, Luisa si ritrova a danzare.
