Two very young women live in a country house in the midst of war. The older of the two is the active one, the one who dominates and controls everything that happens in the house. The younger woman is the victim, dominated by the bombings and her companion's mentality, which forces her to maintain impeccable, unhealthy behavior. This conflict between the two is narrated by a voiceover—that of the younger woman—who, now at a distance, reflects on that period of her life.
