In a rundown brothel a mismatched group gathers: an unpublished poet, a belated revolutionary, a bureaucrat dreaming of dance, a greedy Chinese merchant with his timid wife Monica, a prostitute, a troupe of courtesans, and two priests, one sanctimonious and the other compassionate. Their balance breaks when a woman who seems a princess arrives.
