Premise

Moa lives by herself in a cottage in the forest and has a dead-end job in a toilet paper factory. She is trying to find herself; she has a dead-end job, yet has a talent for computer layouts and photography; she is an activist on causes such as veganism and anti-capitalism, accompanying her friends on demonstrations, but it seems that she may be doing this just to fit in. When at home, by herself, she listens to commercial pop music and wears make-up. As the story progresses, it transpires that she lacks self-esteem, and is used and abused by what she takes to be her friends. Men are happy to have sex with her, but dump her soon afterwards. She begins to gain self-confidence as she comes into contact with Jens, a troubled teenager whom the local authorities have entrusted to Moa's parents, perennial foster parents and do-gooders, to look after.

gollark: What *is* this?

gollark: Cryptocurrencies *also* do (not the tax bit) but very unstably.

gollark: US dollars have value because lots of people are willing to accept them/think they do (also to a lesser extent because the government requires them to be used for taxes).

gollark: Also, there *are* already tons of educational qualifications for maths and such, it's just that people don't use them that way.

gollark: What could *possibly* go wrong.
