A young woman lives a lonely and isolated life, dreaming of luxury and beauty. Her greatest desires are to look like her famous idol and to win the heart of her secret love. In a surreal, dream-like turn of events, in which a moth-like ghost appears, she realises that not all wishes were meant to be fulfilled.
