In Athens during the interwar period, a time of romanticism, social contrasts, and diplomatic ferment due to the imminent signing of the Balkan Pact, Latvian baroness Dorothea de Rop passionately experiences every moment of her life. Of Russian descent, rebellious, proud, and ambitious, she left Vienna where she lived with her husband and found herself in Tirana, the mistress of the King of Albania, Ahmet Zogu.

Brave and daring, she believed that nothing could touch her, until the moment she fell in love, as a woman falls in love only once in her life; and then she willingly got entangled in the nets of Turkish espionage, in order to follow her great and unique love to Athens.

By her side, her precious friend and supporter, the Greek-French Colette, a French teacher in the luxurious villa of the Sereti family, lives her own romance with the charming Alexander, without suspecting that she herself has fallen victim to a diabolical plan...

A true story, a gripping romantic, diplomatic, and crime thriller in Athens of 1934, showing that no matter how much times change, people always remain the same.
