Camelia, a midwife and dressmaker, prepares amulets for three friends and a daughter in her candle-lit dining room. Each woman has a special need. Some want children, some want love and normalcy in their lives, and Rosalia wants to consummate her marriage. She wishes to give her husband the love he deserves.
The women consider Camelia a wise woman and go to her with their problems. She puts different herbs in each little red satin pouch according to the needs of the women and tells them to believe in the power of their amulets. They do believe.
With her unique challenge, each woman goes through disappointment, and some must take a different path in their lives to attain happiness.
