In a sleepy corner of Hungary at the time of the wars with Napoleon, a reserved foreigner lives in a walled house with a young woman whom no one is allowed to see. A regiment of dashing officers and their ladies, gossiping country gentry and a lady surrounded by cats all wonder who she is, and some powerful people abroad want to know too.
