A young and beautiful woman is disappointed in life. Even painting which is her only link with life is something she can no longer bear. However she is living for an undeterminate goal. Then one day a visitor from far away passes by - an old friend of her husband's, an architect who hardly has any hold on his failed marriage. The friend is like something out of the girl's childhood memories - a snapshot torn out the family album. Gradually, her smoldering feelings about the past begin to surface in a dramatic way. The story draws a full circle from a point in the past to another one similar to itself. The rest is the evolution of despair into a fatal passion.
