Verica is in love with Mita, a young and talented man, but their love is burdened by various circumstances - Verica, namely, is already promised to marry someone who is much more financially stable and conforms to social norms. Although she is not in love with her fiance, Verica finds herself in a dilemma between her personal happiness and society's expectations.

An additional complication in her life is the presence of the Lady in Blue, a mysterious woman who has a specific influence on the people around her, including Verica. That woman gradually becomes a symbol of everything that Verica wanted to achieve, but could not achieve due to social and family pressures. Through the character of the Lady in Blue, Mir-Jam depicts the struggle between the desire for personal freedom and the internal pressures of society.
