Lola and her daughter, Susie, because of the mother's focus on her career and the lack of communication with her daughter, led to the tragedy of two mothers and daughters loving a man at the same time; and another pair of black mothers and daughters they met at the beach had a different story. The mother, Annie, is sad and conflicted because her mixed-race daughter has always refused to admit that she is black, but Annie, a kind woman, has always been waiting for her daughter's return, but she is not willing to support her son.
