A woman who has never loved plants sees a beautiful white flower growing in her garden and falls in love with it. She takes care of it every day, and as time goes by, she sees other flowers similar to the one she has filling her garden. She is happy. But day by day the flowers begin to wither and disappear. The woman waits for their return, until one day she sees a white flower in her neighbour’s garden. A metaphor about the meaning of love and its fleetingness, which makes it even more precious when it is there.
