A woman mistakenly believes a pair of custom-made shoes are her birthday gift from her family. Her sister, Camille, angrily confronts her, accusing her of stealing, and the woman's mother scolds her for being jealous and greedy. Forced to apologize and clean the shoes, the woman realizes her mother and the boys consider Camille the true princess, while her own cherished memories of family promises are meaningless. After meekly giving up the shoes, she watches Camille happily accept them, leaving her isolated and heartbroken.
