Angie lost her sight in a tragic accident when she was just one year old. Now that she's four, her father has scheduled an eye surgery, filled with hope that she will regain her vision. Angie, with the innocence of a child, dreams of seeing again and has a simple yet powerful wish: she wants her mother to be the first person she sees after the surgery.
Her mother, Sophie, however, is in Germany, chasing a lucrative career. Despite her family's pleas, work always takes precedence. When Angie's father relays her wish, Sophie suggests a heartless solution - hiring someone to pose as her. This callous idea showcases the depth of her detachment from her family, leaving her husband torn between fulfilling his promise to his daughter and his moral compass.
Enter Oge, a nurse the father hires to care for Angie until the surgery. Her first day on the job is a series of mishaps. She arrives late, lies about checking on Angie, and forgets important details like Angie's dietary restrictions and medication.
