In a vibrant 1920s city, two young lovers, Mary and Tom, navigate a world filled with glamour and temptations. They come from markedly different backgrounds: Mary is the daughter of a wealthy industrial magnate, while Tom is a bohemian artist whose life is marked by struggle and creativity. Despite these obstacles, their connection is undeniable, and together they dream of a future where their love can flourish free from prejudice and social conventions.
However, problems arise when Mary's father discovers their relationship and vehemently opposes his daughter associating with someone he considers a "poor devil." To appease her father and save her reputation, Mary is forced to make decisions that threaten to tear her relationship with Tom apart. As the plot unfolds, both characters face personal and social dilemmas, struggling to remain true to themselves while trying to find a balance between love and family expectations.
Boasting stunning urban landscapes and a visual style reminiscent of the silent film era, the movie presents an intense drama of emotions, sacrifices, and the fierce desire to find authenticity in a world that tends to judge. In its conclusion, Mary and Tom must confront the key question: How far would they be willing to go for love?
