Estelle is working at a business party. In a shiny herring looking dress she has been serving herring and champagne to the business men. The evening is on its end and everybody left to go home, except for three guests and Estelle. In vain she tries to shut the place down, but the men at the party don't want to go home yet. The Still Life of Estelle is a film about getting used to humiliation, which leads to alienation and stillness.
