Five women of various ages face, each in her own way, what seems to be the deterministic trap of Fate: a freshman in a girls' boarding school with the strange ability to share other people's dreams, a young woman in a straitjacket, desperately trying to locate a very particular future, a middle-aged skier refusing to be just a puppet on a string, an elderly fortune-teller with insufficient faith in her own trade, finally, an old lady whose very precious alarm clock is suddenly broken.
