He introduces her to a world of art, music, and bohemianism, and she falls deeply in love with him. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Paul is married, and Natica must navigate the moral and societal implications of their affair. As Natica struggles to reconcile her love for Paul with her sense of right and wrong, she also faces a series of personal and family crises.
