The noble Leonardo wastes his existence on play and drink. During a theatrical company?s performance in his villa?s park (we?re in the 18th century, not far from Venice), he becomes infatuated with the leading lady and attempts an uncivilized approach. Rejected on the spot (and the next day), he follows the girl from place to place, hiding his face each time with a different mask. Will he succeed in breaching the beautiful girl?s heart?
