A period drama about two sisters navigating prejudice and hardship in 1930s society, bound by love and mutual dependence across distance.

In the thirties, two sisters separated by fate face prejudice and sexism, one by the high society in a big city and the other by a group of renegades in the countryside. Despite the distance, they know that they can only count on each other and both of them will assert themselves in their own and surprising way.
