Freya is a successful corporate lawyer who has a comfortable house and a supportive partner. However, she feels deeply unhappy and unfulfilled. She has always wanted to be a creative painter, but during her childhood, her parents only praised and showed affection towards her when she achieved top grades in academic subjects. She now feels a constant conflict between the person she is and the person she wishes to be.
