„Hapsânca seems a fantastic, grotesque, exaggerated character and yet she is as real as can be.
Huge in proportions, with an insatiable appetite for food, devours everything in its path and has no regard for strangers or its own children!
But Hapsânca doesn't just have a body that she overfeeds with everything that falls into her mouth - deep down, hidden among the layers of fat, her soul is also pulsating tiredly.
Will Hapsânca find it? Will she find a cure for her greed? Will she be able to see beyond food? And most importantly: Will she find peace and joy, without which life can become a chore here on earth?
So let us pray that she will take us with her, on the wings of her mysterious bird, like a guardian angel, and set off on a journey to cure greed!”.
