The central character is Susanna, who appears to be a prostitute living with five different people at the same time. These five men and Susanna engage in a strange relationship, easily misunderstood by the society around them. But no one can judge her on grounds of morality. She is a mother, wife, sister, daughter to all her men. They find peace in her presence.
The music is composed by Johnson. Canadian poet and musician Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" is played in the film.
