Se c'è una cosa che Shibata non sopporta è dover servire il caffè, pulire e riordinare. Nessuna di queste cose fa parte delle sue mansioni, ma Shibata è l'unica donna in un ufficio popolato da uomini. Così una mattina, davanti all'ennesima richiesta del suo capo di raccogliere le tazze sporche dalla sala riunioni, annuncia che non può, perché l'odore del caffè le dà fastidio. È incinta, o almeno questo racconta ai suoi colleghi.

Frau Shibata ist vierunddreißig und arbeitet als Angestellte in einer Firma in Tokyo, in der Männer das Sagen haben. Ständig wird sie herumgeschubst, schlecht behandelt und soll Kaffee kochen. Doch dann hat sie eine geniale Idee: Sie behauptet, schwanger zu sein – und plötzlich wird sie rücksichtsvoll behandelt. Doch wie weit lässt sich dieses Spiel treiben? Frau Shibata geht aufs Ganze, stopft sich die Kleidung aus und 'erlebt' die gesamte Schwangerschaft. Bis schließlich unausweichlich der Moment der Wahrheit naht – und die sieht anders aus, als gedacht.
