This book comprises three independent stories, each focusing on the contradictions and hidden aspects of interactions between the sexes, showcasing the power struggles within emotional relationships through specific plot points. In the title story, "It's Getting Late," Kaher, to refute his fiancée's accusations, begins to repeatedly recall their courtship: from the initial spark to the numerous arguments he ignored. Those seemingly insignificant matters had already accumulated into a barrier in her heart, and this self-justification within his memories ultimately forces him to confront the unbalanced truth of their relationship. In "Antarctica," on Christmas Eve, a woman, weary of the monotony of her daily work, decides to temporarily leave home. She encounters a seemingly gentle and considerate man who is actually heartless. In "The Long and Painful Death," a female writer travels to Heinz in search of creative inspiration.
