The two girls are inseparable, although they often are drawn into fierce arguments. Together, they sneak into discos, fight over boys, and dream about an exciting future beyond their quaint hometown.

Linda's life gradually becomes interwoven with that of her deceased friend; step by step she seems to penetrate further and further into Eta's life as her own identity begins to dissolve, as if the two friends, the living and the dead, were mysteriously merging...
