A mesmerising story about three young women. Maria, the eldest of them, is a valued secretary who works for a large company. She is ambitious, intelligent, and – most importantly – very disciplined. Anna, her younger sister, is a completely different person – melancholic and quiet. She is about to finish her studies, which are far from her field of interest, and must soon face the choice of a life path. There is also Miriam, a young, zestful girl who works at the same company as Maria. One day, it is Maria who decides to get closer to her colleague. Von Trotta mindfully and sensitively portrays psychological nuances, creating an intimate portrait of women entangled in complicated relations.
