Joanna, a woman who decides to separate herself physically from the stress of the outside world, confines herself within her apartment. Her life inside is increasingly attractive in its calmness, balance, and stability. She maintains a mediated interaction with the external world through technology (a computer, answering machine and video camera). When a relationship that she has developed through her video camera demands an important moral decision, she finds she has to broaden her new way of being to encompass an engagement with the social, the real.
