This melodramatic comedy takes place some one hundred years ago, in a slightly depraved upper class society in America. The title refers to an old Victorian saying for a long-term lesbian relationship. One is introduced to Anna and Claire, two elegant and arrogant upper-class ladies, who are both embarking on new erotic affairs. Their comical maid, Catherine serves as their amusing reflection and the language throughout is kept in the stylized and feigned manner of the time, though periodically interrupted by rather sarcastic and coarse comments, which adds a great comic effect.
