Her relationship with her own mother, a singing teacher, is tense, and she is also increasingly annoyed with her job.

Helena finally comes up with a new sexual service: when the hunt is over, the women have been brought down and the men crow in triumph, there she stands, beautiful, severe and implacable. Like an absolute ruler.
