A melancholic, introspective slice-of-life drama that uses a night of transactional intimacy to expose the emotional emptiness and existential anguish of urban bourgeois life.

Two friends take two prostitutes for a night of pleasure. But the night turns out to be frustrating for all involved, as much bitterness is revealed in their conversation and attitudes, uncovering their anguish and deeper feelings, and the emptiness of their lives.
