In the 16th century, two extraordinary people meet: Thomele, the most famous court dwarf of his time, and Philippine Welser, the daughter of an Augsburg merchant who secretly married Ferdinand II against her father's wishes. When Philippine saves Thomele's life, a remarkable friendship begins. This is the story of a great woman who, as an outsider, boldly forged her own path, held on to her secret love, and brought Schloss Ambras to life, meticulously researched by Jeannine Meighörner and candidly recounted by Thomele.
