This is a story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village, whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heart-broken and believing that "Love is a terrible thing that makes you suffer". When a chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, she dreams of finding fame and fortune yet ends up working as a prostitute.
