Synopsis

[edit]

The action takes place in a Maragata hacienda that is sinking into misery, whose situation can only be resolved through a marriage of convenience. But the marriageable girl, during a train trip, falls in love with a young poet and is reciprocated. Her family opposes this relationship, since they have promised her in marriage with a man of good position.
