Když někdo žije tak dlouho sám, uzavřen ve svém vlastním mikrosvětě, stejně jako Sylvie, zákonitě se stane trochu pichlavým. Obzvlášť, když se s vámi život právě nemazlí. Sylvie již léta tajně miluje svého šéfa, profesora Lomaxe, a tiše doufá, že se třeba jednou rozvede a zjistí, že je vedle něho i ona. Když právě neobdivuje pana profesora, pomáhá Sylvie v místním útulku pro ježky. Život plyne v příjemné jednotvárnosti a nic zvláštního se neděje. Až do okamžiku, kdy se Sylvie dozví, že se její milovaný profesor opravdu rozvádí. Že by se její naděje konečně naplnily? Už konečně nebude muset jen snít… Ovšem ouha, pan profesor nasměroval svou náklonnost úplně jiným směrem – k mladé a krásné doktorandce Lole. Sylvie se po letech tvrdě probouzí ze svého snu, kterého se však nechce jen tak lehce vzdát.
