A strained relationship with her father, Emilia has been kept away from the outside world for her whole life. Her only friends are house servants, her mother and the people she draws in her secret journal. With her head stuck in book-work all the time, her desire for the outside grows stronger when her father crushes her only memory of the outside world. She must look past the material bribery of her father, so that she may be free of his overbearing grip.
