Cinema appears anddisappears, sometimes flickering distantly in the landscapeand sometimes in the lives of the three women who live along Film CityRoad. The film follows their relationship withthe idea of recreation in the city, the desire to be mobile and to have anextra sheen of pleasure in their lives. It traces the place that cinema has asa pleasure house in the lives of the three protagonists as well as what itdisplaces in its marginal but evocative presence.
