The Story:
Cornelia a swabian small town girl in 1789, decides she has enough of her uncaring and abusive father and her grey life without perspective. She makes a plan to buy herself a marriage and run off to revolution stricken Paris. But things come quite differently when the plan is halted by an odd but fateful picknick invitation, which leaves no man standing.
A story of a girl trying to break out, but having to face some harsh truths of being a woman in the 18th century...
