At a time when the small country Pontevedro is about to bankrupt, Count Danilo, Hanna's former lover, is commissioned to marry her. His goal: to hold the country's wealth in their hands. The old love between Hanna and Danilo flammst again, but he has its principles. He refuses to only be hired by Hanna because of her money.
