But one day, when Charly dares to enter the house, it transforms itself into its original state, from the era of her great grandmother, and Charly can see and talk with a mysterious and unhappy young woman. Who is this woman and why is it that only Charly can see her? The two develop a mutually helpful relationship, one in which Charly is helped to grow and mature. In a satisfying conclusion, Charly learns the answer to many family secrets.
