The story revolves around Selma Varén, a young student who navigates her complex emotions and relationships, notably with her admired teacher, Lehtori Hellman. The book explores themes of love, societal expectations of women, and the personal aspirations within the context of a rapidly changing society.

where Selma and her friend Anni are preparing for a day out. Anni is dedicated to mending Selma's blue dress, showcasing their close friendship.
