3 For A Dollar

An ensemble piece revolving around the lives of three characters – a twelve year-old girl who hawks tissues on the streets after school, a high-flyer insurance agent and a high-society wife obsessed with having the perfect pair of shoes. The story takes place over the course of one day during which these characters lose their sources of security, are forced to confront their deepest fears and question the ultimate significance in what they do.
