Ladies Room

In a lofty, ethereal chamber, a group of women stand in anticipation. It might be Purgatory, suggesting they are no longer among the living. Within this space, two young women—one an actress, the other a psychologist—observe the final days of their lives unfold on a television screen. Both are entangled in affairs with married men and each has an extended interaction with their lover’s wife. These encounters occur in women’s restrooms: one behind the scenes of a play about to debut, the other in an opera house during its first act. The dynamics between the younger and older women take unexpected twists. Meanwhile, in the room with the TV, a sylph poses deep and challenging questions to the two young women as they watch their stories play out.
