The pitfalls of youth sooner or later, but always come out sideways. In a terminally ill woman who finds a successful entrepreneur before her death, he with great difficulty recognizes his old love, whom he left pregnant twenty-four years ago, believing the slanderous denunciations of ill-wishers. The dying woman asks him only for one thing: to take care of her daughter, who is, after all, their child together. But the girl hates her father with all her soul, considering him to be the cause of her mother’s suffering.
