Overnight, the sweet and sensitive Anita was forced to live in the honourable Handen house. And, for her, the misfortune has begun....

The Handen, Anita's distant relatives, have a dry heart. Kneaded with pride, they subjected the young orphan girl to the worst humiliations, which they despise: if her father was a Handen, her mother was a poor Spanish woman who sang for a living.

To add to her suffering, Anita falls in love with Ary, the eldest son of the Handens, a wonderful artist, elegant and haughty, who does not deign to realize that she exists.

There is no prospect of happiness for Anita in this hostile environment. Will she agree to marry Ulrich, the sympathetic son of a pastor, who is sincerely in love with it?

She dreams, she waits. Sometimes trials change hearts...

What if Anita is right to hope?
