Scotland 1821. A remote, wild village on the North Sea coast. The story of a local pastor's middle daughter. In her declining years, looking into the eyes of eternity, Mia remembers the great love that she carried through the years. Raised in a family of strict morals, and not receiving warmth from her mother, she still could not curb her thirst to be loved. The ill-fated meeting, which arose by chance, changed all the prepared happiness and marked a sharp turn in the life of a sixteen-year-old girl. Mia made the main choice, stealing from fate what was not intended for her. The consequences of her action determined the taste of life itself. Against the backdrop of the passing years, it is not a simple line of love that unfolds, but the question arises: is it love or self-deception?
