A portrait of a sensitive girl follows Renée as she copes with the death of her beloved dog and the small routines of privileged country life. Episodes of domestic observation, lessons with officious instructors, solitary pony rides, and imagined play reveal her loneliness, desire for a close friend, and attempts to perform adult roles. The narrative moves episodically through memory and everyday action, emphasizing mood, interior reflection, and the tensions between affection, duty, and yearning for independence.
