Synopsis:
The main hero of the film is, in fact, also the heroine. Rather, Meriora Gillibrand created Monsieur Hawarden, her alter ego, in order to escape her past. 15 years ago, she murdered her lover. Since then she has been traveling around Europe disguised as a man, on the run from the police. She is now almost thirty and is consumed by guilt and loneliness because only her servant Victorine knows her secret.
