Lila, a brilliant newcomer to corporate life, becomes assistant to Vera, the seemingly untouchable CEO of a multinational group. Vera keeps everyone at a distance, yet late-night work, negotiations, and close collaboration repeatedly break down her defenses, while Lila openly challenges the desire behind her restraint. Lila then discovers that Vera was once threatened by board member Marcus over a relationship with a female subordinate, a wound that makes Vera alternate between intimacy and rejection. Caught between workplace power and genuine feeling, the women finally choose to face the board together and cross both professional and personal boundaries on their own terms.
