Driving home late at night during a heavy rainstorm, Glen experiences car trouble. Near where his car gets stuck, he spots a house, knocks on the door and is greeted by an oddly friendly middle-aged man, Arthur, and his younger wife, Cyndi. The strange couple pours him a drink, and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse. Elsewhere, a young woman, Katie, is feeling emotionally weighed down by a secret romantic arrangement that feels like a textbook case of gaslighting. And at the same time, in a nondescript research facility, medical professional Julie begins questioning her role in a bizarre experiment, fearing that she’s doing more harm than good.

动荡不安的黑暗时代，人性承受着最为严苛的考验。不堪生活的重压，身心遭受重创的陈白露（方舒 饰）告别满是泪水和贫穷的生活，转身投入光怪陆离的物欲世界的怀抱。红唇烈焰，光影交错，拥有不凡姿色的白露很快成为名噪一时的交际花。她享受名流公子、权势王公的欢呼与追捧，期间却也天良未泯救助了命运多舛的小东西。只不过此时的光鲜有如梦幻泡影，站在浮云顶尖的白露终究是随波逐流的浮萍。她既无法彻底改变小东西的苦难命运，也无法维持自己此时的华贵优渥。周围的人如跑马灯般匆匆而过，人生如梦，大限之际，两手空空……本片根据曹禺的经典名作改编。

这部早期的实验电影，完成于1972年。长达一小时左右Babette Mangolte的摄影静寂而流动的勘视着纽约一家廉价旅馆的门厅，电梯，走廊与房间。那些偶或瞥见的独居者们，使整体孤独与静匿的气氛徒添神秘。比较起艾克曼的其他电影，这部早期影片更显示出了EDWARD HOPPER对她的重要影响。
