By knowing oneself, a person knows the whole world. Refusal of self-knowledge distances a person from God. What does a woman seek in a man's world? What passionate and vague dreams control her? The painful search for the Ideal in an imperfect world is realized by a love triangle.

The happiness of motherhood for this woman lies in the absence of a reason for comparison, because the child is certainly pure and beautiful.
