Three sisters meet in a large empty house - the women, despite their relationship, are complete strangers to each other, separated by a wall of indifference and convention. The meeting takes place because one of them, Agnes, is dying of cancer in excruciating pain, and custom dictates they be with the dying. However, even at such a moment, the sisters are unable to overcome their alienation. For Agnes, the sisters’ presence is an additional torture, bringing an awareness of heart-breaking loneliness. In the diary she keeps secretly, which is the only patient confidant of her pain, Agnes desperately tries to find moments of understanding and closeness to another human being in her life.
