As her dreams are shattered, Koly faces the harsh realities of her new life as she navigates the complexities of marriage and loss. When tragedy strikes, she is forced to flee her oppressive circumstances and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Through her resilience and hope, Koly learns to embrace her identity and find her place in the world, ultimately symbolizing the strength of the human spirit.
