Freya grows up among the books in her mother’s second-hand bookshop in Brazil. Focused on her studies, she dreams of travelling to England to study literature at the University of Oxford. At twenty-three, with little experience of romantic relationships, she leaves for the United Kingdom and meets Scot, an older, famous man with a love of the arts. He introduces her to a luxurious world and offers experiences that seem to belong to the love stories she has read. Gradually, however, his attachment to her becomes obsessive, and the romance she imagined begins to change. Freya must decide how to respond while holding on to her professional ambitions. Her journey raises questions of self-worth, confidence and individuality, as she considers her own needs and the future she wants to pursue.
