Myry was a seamstress until she married. Her new husband isn't what she dreamed of, a man who says he loves her and calls her beautiful, but they manage to lead a modest life together. There's only one catch - they must move in with his mother, an old woman with a penchant for breaking beautiful chinaware. Myry tries her best to love her new mother-in-law, sewing her a beautiful dress to wear and covering up her broken dishes, but her careful protectiveness crumbles when her husband's charismatic sister Nell returns. Nell has just married much more happily than Myry, and she notices the missing pottery immediately. Myry tries to take the blame for the broken pieces herself, but her mother-in-law owns up to her guilt. Moving forward, Myry's new family embrace what they love - eating off of beautiful dishes and wearing beautiful things. But Myry still hasn't heard the words that matter most to her. After many months, Myry gives birth. Her new family encourages her husband to say something nice to her after such an ordeal. He tells her he loves her and that she is beautiful. Although Myry isn't likely to hear such words again, she glows from happiness and decides she is satisfied with her new life.
