Olga, Masha and Irina long for the glamour of Moscow and to escape life in provincial Russia.
But with constant visits by soldiers and dignitaries, by family, friends and ‘acquaintances’; with work to be done and marriages to be honoured will they ever be free?
A play of life, love, loss, dreams, whimsy, hope - real and false - of moving and of remaining where you are.
