1801. Sessenheim. In the quiet and idyllic parsonage in the Alsace, Anna has received an extraordinary education under the watchful eye of her grandfather, the village pastor.

But Anna yearns for more than marriage. She longs to write, a secret she guards fiercely from her unsuspecting father. A chance encounter with Friedrich, a set carpenter at the Weimar Theater, ignites a friendship that fuels her hidden passion.
