Olivia, initially filled with innocence, receives unexpected kindness from Robert Lamm, a family friend, who gently advises against treating her as a spectacle. As her father falls ill and subsequently dies, Olivia's world shifts dramatically. Amidst the struggles that follow, Lamm becomes a guiding figure, though the dynamics between them evolve as Olivia matures and grapples with her desires and aspirations.
