Description

Two women, the same time, different places. While one woman is bringing new life to the world, the other is suffering the pain of having lost her child. After a difficult pregnancy, Leyla Beyaz gives birth to a baby girl. The next day, there is a surprising, undeniably clear, confident reply to an advertisement placed in a newspaper looking for a governess: 'I'm on my way!' From then on, the Governess will have an irreplaceable position in the life of the new-born Songl and her family; so much so that she cannot help thinking that her own lost daughter has been reborn as Songl, the Beyaz family's daughter. The Governess has the most important role in the Beyaz family's life after the (re)birth of Songl, her loyalty, love, honesty and steadfastness are truly exceptional.
