synopsis
An often moving but not completely convincing story set in nineteenth century Italy, this is the tale of an officer with two loves. His first love is the comely Antonelli. For whatever reasons, however, he falls in love with a mysterious and quite unattractive hermit. Rather a beauty and the beast tale in reverse.
