Synopsis

This film was originally based around a Chekhov story called Champagne.

The tale twists in a helix of upset love. A mother and a daughter are both prostitutes. The mother knows (although the audience can only infer) that they are mother/daughter and sisters as in "China Town." The third character is a drifter and a John. He is lonely and forgotten. When he meets the younger girl he immediately wants her. Her mother/sister is distraught worrying about the girl. As it turns out the girl has already accepted her fate and tries to enjoy the thrills of luxury (on trains).
