Duyen marries Hai and thinks she is happy, but the life of the young couple is soon dotted with flickers of emptiness. Duyen has a girlfriend – Cam, a writer – who is older and secretly in love with her and troubled by the vast emptiness brought by Duyen’s marriage. To hide her real feeling – a kind of love deemed immoral by Vietnamese society – Cam pretends to be tortured by the love for a man named Tho. On a rainy day Cam finds hersel ill and heartbroken. Duyen vitits her and Cam asks her to take a letter to Tho. This meeting allows Duyen to discover a man charged with sexual desire and uncover the voids in herself. This is the beginning of a series of plotting jealousies, involving all of their feelings and lives and contrasting with the established traditional morality.
