At the start of the story, Lucien reflects on his childhood connection with Silvia and highlights their struggle with the absence of children in their lives despite their desire for them. After years of marriage, they find their lives dramatically intertwined with the Polydores, a family with a multitude of unruly children who invade their space and complicate their quiet existence.
