It follows her life in Vienna, and her desire for him to love her, but it's painful, unrequited love. She finally gets the chance to be with him, and has his child, but he soon forgets who she is and is unaware of his son.Years pass, and Lisa is now married with a respectable man who treats her son as his own, but a chance meeting at the opera with Stefan has Lisa uncontrollably wanting him. But when she goes to his house, he doesn't even remember her.
