Beatrice and Miriam are sisters, loving but not entirely uncritical; each secretly deplores the other's aspirations. Their lives fall short of what they would have wished for themselves: love, intimacy, exclusivity, acknowledgement in the eyes of the world, even a measure of respect. Each discovers to her cost that love can be a self seeking business and that lovers have their own exclusive desires. In search of reciprocity they are forced back into each other's company, and rediscover their original closeness in the course of quiet attempts to gain a measure of wisdom and acceptance.
