A small bench on the sidewalk near their home is the daily meeting place of four women who live in a modest, traditional neighborhood. Their neighborhood is like a time capsule preserved in a place where new colors, sounds and smells have penetrated long ago. The bench is where they let themselves open up and let go, where they entertain friends, amuse and encourage each other. The film allows us to enter their lives which contain endless giving and human warmth as well as frustrations and disappointments, an ever-growing sense of \”missing out\” in a world changing before their eyes.
