The sun-drenched garden of the ancestral mansion serves as a stage for decades of tension. D Anna, seventeen and draped in aristocratic pride, sits upon the emerald grass, her porcelain skin glowing against the shadow of her haughty demeanor. Beside her stands D Leo, eighteen, rigid and taciturn in his unfeminine attire, a stark contrast to the ribbon-tied elegance of his cousin.
