Logline

A lavish adaptation of a novel featuring talented Swiss newcomers.

Elsie dreams of making it big as a musician. But instead of devoting herself to the arts, she’s given menial tasks as a maid. When the master of the house gets her pregnant, she is to be sent away as quickly as possible before anyone notices. And so she’s married off to Jakob, a farmhand. But the young woman’s heart beats for music — and a musician.
