Germany 1914. In Europe, tensions are brewing, but on the Degnelly family estate in East Prussia, there is still hope for the future. The 18-year-old daughter Felicia especially dreams of an exciting, happy life. A dream that must withstand a harsh reality, as the coming years will bring an end to her familiar world. Nevertheless, she loves life, embraces risk, and is particularly drawn to two very different men. Amidst the chaos of war, she evolves into an independent businesswoman who plays high stakes and faces deep falls. Throughout it all, she is driven by a profound sense of responsibility for her family and a determination to never be discouraged by setbacks. A determination that will also shape the women of the following generations.
