Andor Heltai

On the plains of Hungary, Franz, a Hussard lieutenant, broods about his future; Born into an aristocratic family, his father drank away the family fortune and marriage seems an unlikely prospect. Impoverished Franz's love for effervescent and upright country girl Marika coincides with the tragic tale of lovelorn violinist Josef, all but ignored by royal beauty Camilla.
