A cheerful and wealthy Moscow of the late 19th century: merchants walk grandly and nobles throw lavish parties. A gypsy choir sings for them. With generous hands, industrialists and aristocrats shower gifts and money at the gypsies’ feet… But everyone was surprised by Prince Sbezhnev, who proposed to one of the choir singers—Nastya, the beauty. And it would have made the fateful beauty a princess—until her trouble came: she fell in love with the impoverished camp gypsy Ilya… What will become of them, and where will their wild fate lead them—God only knows!
