Hers was a forced marriage arranged by her father. She survives as best she can far away from her family, in a hostile environment with an older man she doesn't love.The encounter of these two women who could not be more different is a confrontation of different cultures, values and traditions. But as both women share similar anxieties and suppressions they manage to open the door to new possibilities and lives.
