Susie is taking the night train to visit Anke - her long time friend from high school. The roads of the two friends departed long time ago when Susie was accepted to The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and Tina was suffering from clinical depression.

This story is acted in the back stage of the theater while the audience is exposed only to the actors in their empty moments and in the brakes between the scenes. The theater play and the relationships between the actors are slowly unfolding behind the scenes and in front of the audience. The actors talk continuously and move back and forward from the stage to the backstage while their words and actions are overlapping one another.
