Francine is 14 years old and lives in an apartment with her mother and stepfather who we don't see but hear shouting. Francine is insecure. Accross the hall lives Polly, a 34-year-old photographer who befriends Francine. They spend a lot of time together. A hallway in an anonymous, worn-out building. Two doors opposite each other. A young girl and a woman, both lonely and needy. They are friends with each other. But what kind of friendship is it? And who is dependent of who?
