Daisy Miller is a young, beautiful, and innocent American girl who has been living in Europe for a long time. In Switzerland, she meets an American young man, Winterborne, and they decide to meet again in Rome, Italy. However, after Winterborne arrives in Rome, he does not visit Daisy first but instead goes to see an acquaintance who has been living there for a long time. There, he unexpectedly meets Daisy. Playful Daisy, as a form of punishment, deliberately treats him coldly and intentionally spends her time partying late with some Italian friends, traveling around. Daisy's defiant behavior, which ignores public opinion, earns her widespread criticism. In the end, she contracts a serious illness and pays the price for her freedom with her life.
