While visiting her uncle in Zemianske Podhradie, Adela, the only daughter of a respected nobleman and owner of an estate in Ostra Lúka, meets an extraordinary man. Scholar, philosopher and poet Ludovít Štúr rebels against social conditions in Hungary and, by drawing attention to political injustice, teeters on the edge of the law. 20-year-old Adela falls passionately in love with him against all common sense. She believes that if she manages to get him close to her, the proud and sarcastic man will begin to love her back. So she provides him with a temporary home in her mansion, pays for his private philosophy lessons and uses her father's influence to have Štúr elected to the Hungarian Diet. Just when it seems that Adela's plan is starting to succeed, a revolution breaks out and Ludevít is swept up in a whirlwind that will forever change Europe and their fate.
