Colonial Trinidad 1941. Three sisters live a privileged life in Port of Spain occupying themselves with empty marriages and indiscreet liaisons.

Mustapha Matura has won numerous awards for his plays that include Playboy of the West Indies and As Time Goes By. Running time: 3hrs 15mins. Performed in Russian with English surtitles
