Two interwoven fairy tales follow two girls born at the same moment into contrasting stations—one to a royal household, the other to a shepherd family—each reared to believe herself Somebody. Lush, whimsical descriptions of golden rain, hail, and landscape frame episodes of desire, dissatisfaction, and parental misguidance as each child longs for what cannot be given. Encounters with cunning or supernatural figures, domestic mishaps, and the shifting scenes between courtly spectacle and rustic toil examine how upbringing, social expectation, and longing shape identity and fate.
