A wealthy man tries to protect his daughter, Danina, from pain and unhappiness by shutting her away from the world. Living in a walled estate and surrounded by ever-smiling servants, she knows nothing but beauty and love.

Then one day the wind slips over the walls and explains that life is not always happy and not always kind…
