A woman who works as employee in a fashion store has to care for her ill mother. At the same time she falls in love with a bohemian man. Emilia, a humble clothing store employee, steals an outfit to wear to a party she's attending with her boyfriend. Everything turns out bad for Emilia: she's fired from her job, she's unlucky in love and worst of all she's diagnosed with a degenerative disease that will lead to blindness. All of this plus the death of mother forces her to make a decision.
