Mado, a 40-year-old lawyer, marries a rich surgeon, the father of her unborn child. Ten days later, one of her two children, 16 years old, dies after accidentally swallowing cyanide solution. By mistake? Mado is grief-stricken and sinks into despair. Unable to come to terms with her son's death, she becomes aggressive, depressed and suicidal. She leaves her profession, and clashes with her eldest daughter and her husband; her marriage breaks down. After wandering for five years, she meets a man who also lost a child and whose marriage had also come apart as a result.
