There, she unbinds her breasts and opens up to her own sexuality. She quits university to become an elementary school teacher in a small village. There, she meets and falls in love with a young doctor. At first, she rebels against the hypocrisy that requires a bride to be a virgin, but then pays a gynecologist to stitch her hymen so it will break again on her wedding night and make her groom believe she is a virgin.
