A spark ignites between the two women, leading to a passionate and clandestine affair. Their connection is forbidden by societal norms and the prevailing prejudices of the time, as homosexuality is considered taboo and dangerous.

As their love blossoms, Carol and Therese navigate the complexities of their relationship, facing societal pressure, fear of exposure, and the emotional turmoil of their respective lives. Carol’s desire for freedom clashes with her responsibilities as a wife and mother, while Therese grapples with her burgeoning feelings and the uncertainty of her future.
