Somewhere in the Russian countryside, three sisters - Olga, Masha, and Irina - are waiting for their youth to end. They are deeply, tragically over-cultured and over-qualified for their surroundings; fluent in foreign languages and proficient in philosophy, yet hundreds of miles from the nearest city.
