In 1845, Owen visits Annie, who he knew and loved when he was a clockmaker’s apprentice to her father. He urges her to run away to Paris with him to discover the beauty she has hidden within herself because of her marriage to the town's blacksmith. Can she accept the gift of freedom he offers without redefining her life completely?
