Synopsis of story:
Because of their poor family, Louis and Veronica were sent by their father to the castle of countess Bertha, a famous socialite in the upper class, as maids. Villanella was lively by nature and didn't want to be bound by various rules, which caused dissatisfaction among other servants. On several occasions, he even spoke out against the countess Bertha, which almost caused great disaster. Fortunately, she was able to stay because of the maintenance of the old housekeeper Bestaf. Bertha, the countess, leads a luxurious life, regardless of the servant's life and death. In order to please the lecherous Duke of Malawi, she sacrificed Louis. After being defiled, Louis was greatly stimulated physically and mentally, and soon committed suicide by jumping off a building. Veronica was filled with hatred after her sister's death, and she vowed to take revenge. As it happens, the countess Bertha's husband, the Duke of Orleans, failed to assassinate the king and went to the countryside to take shelter from the wind. An important evidence of the assassination-a small decorative box was accidentally obtained by Willanica.
Countess Martha's arrogant eyes can't hold any sand, and Veronica has to leave the castle to make a living. I didn't expect to be sent to a small hotel by my father as a waiter. The work here is not only bitter and tiring, but what's worse is that the boss is cruel and mean, and even learning to write from the priest is beaten and scolded. Veronica suffered a lot and longed to escape from this magic cave. By chance, Willanica welcomed an extraordinary guest-Duke Batis. In order to survive, Willanica promised Duke Batis to send his horse to Paris and took the opportunity to escape from the hotel. Although a woman, Veronica's cleverness and courage enabled her to overcome all kinds of difficulties and come to Paris. This is what Duke Batis didn't expect. Veronica's arrival surprised him and fascinated him by this clever and brave woman. Duke Batis' cousin knows her brother's mind and keeps Veronica with her, hoping to cultivate her into a social butterfly. At this time, Bertha, the Duchess with a snake in her heart, also came to Paris and became the most favored mistress around the king. But what people don't know is that a huge conspiracy is brewing. Bertha, the duchess, often secretly put medicine in the king's food. As time went on, the king's health went from bad to worse. When Veronica learned of this, she went to the palace with Duke Batis, regardless of her own safety, and exposed the conspiracy of Duchess Bertha. After this adventure, their feelings became sweeter, and soon they got married under the auspices of the king.
But what I didn't expect was that a wave of unrest started again. Shortly after the marriage, Duke Batis died, and the murderer was probably a powerful police chief. Veronica is in trouble again. But nothing can resist the beautiful and clever Veronica. Finally, with the help of Brother Batis, the murderer got the punishment he deserved.
Wonderful point of view:
This film is based on the famous writer Anna? The novel adapted from Rab Ganci is a warm-hearted German film released in 2004, which won unanimous praise as soon as it was released. The romantic and sincere love in the film and the pure and sincere friendship between friends will certainly touch many audiences. The screenwriter and director of this film is Karl caces, a talented German filmmaker. He not only directed many blockbusters, but also had high attainments in scriptwriting. The film The Third Eye, written and directed by him, has recently become one of the hottest movies.
The heroine of the film is Bettina Zimmermann, an experienced German actress, who is known as "beauty with electric eyes". She played an important role in many famous films, such as Miracle Maker and Wrinkle of Time. In this film, she plays the role of Veronica brilliantly, vividly showing the complex mood of a girl who suddenly faces life changes and tries to change her life.
However, there is very little information about this film. I searched online for things I haven't seen online for years.
