Follow three cloakroom attendants at three European opera houses, Vienna State Opera, La Scalia in Milan, and Odessa Opera House. The film reverses the natural order of things, relegating the opera houses and operatic performances to the background and bringing the ancillary staff to the fore. This documentary is about the drama found in the day-to-day lives of these ordinary people, in their beliefs, concerns, and in their approach to the passage of time.
