In the last century, there was a young and beautiful girl with a proud heart who wanted to marry in the city. After she got her wish, the cruel contrast with reality caused her to suffer from schizophrenia, and she had to return to the countryside. The men only used her as a tool, and no one was willing to spend money to treat her. They were afraid that if she recovered, she would choose another man and lose her personal and financial resources. The girl suffered humiliation and her survival was threatened, so an old man who had never married took her in. In order to survive, this old man and several men in the village stole the potatoes that were rotting in the cellar of the team at night. After the incident, he took all the blame on himself and went to jail. Later, the old man was released from prison and took the girl in.
