The main character is a young ballerina whose choreographer mother prepares her to audition for a foreign tour. In the past, her mother gave up her career for her, so the daughter now 'owes' her and must become the mother's triumph. Failure equals death. The heroine's unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide turns out to be life-changing, and she meets a young man who, because of her, is late for his own wedding. This meeting not only does change the lives of the two but it also brings sudden revelations: about the future in which victories and career are not the main things, and about the past, in which their parents loved each other.
