In 1920, the daughter of a Russian baron falls in love with a young British writer. Her immigrant father forbids her to marry an Englishman, but not because the young man is an orphan or because they are political exiles in his country, disinherited by the Soviet Revolution of 1917. Her family's reasons are far more complicated than an Oxford graduate of history could comprehend. However, after he offers her to elope, something else happens and life takes its own course of action.
