Sinopse

As velhas irmãs Libby (Bette Davis) e Sarah (Lillian Gish) vivem juntas numa casa ampla no rochoso litoral do Maine, onde costumavam passar o verão desde a infância, sempre de olho nas baleias que aparecem em agosto. Agora Libby está cega e Sarah precisa cuidar dela. Ambas vivem de recordações da família, dos maridos e dos amigos. O sr. Maranov (Vincent Price), um velho nobre russo fugido da Revolução de 1917, passa a visitá-las, mas é rechaçado asperamente por Libby, que teme que ele apenas queira se instalar na casa delas para aproveitar o pouco de dinheiro que ainda possuem.
