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, acknowledgement in the eyes of the world. In search of reciprocity they are forced back into each other's company, and rediscover their original closeness in the course of attempts to gain a measure of wisdom and acceptance.
