In 1913, a young girl leaves her grandparents' farm in Saskatchewan, to reunite with her mother who abandoned her five years earlier. As she travels to Montreal by train, she makes three stops, and at each of them, a female relative is awaits her. Each reveals to her, one of the roles to which women of the time were confined: the spinster, the mother or the prostitute.
