Amidst the backdrop of their simple life, Amalia experiences her first love when she encounters a soldier.

The soldier, a youthful and rather thoughtless individual, enters Amalia's life and sparks a passionate romance. However, this whirlwind romance has consequences. Amalia discovers she is pregnant, a development that should bring joy but instead introduces complexity and heartache.

This marks a turning point in the narrative as she reconsiders her initial decision. The film explores the complexities of this dilemma, delving into the emotional turmoil and the search for a more viable path forward.
Ultimately, Amalia's journey is about confronting difficult choices and grappling with the consequences of love and abandonment.
