Affable but unsophisticated Count Holk is inspired by a Romantic ballad to leave the modest, comfortable ancestral Schloss (where he and his wife Christine have enjoyed an idyllic life) to go build a new, architecturally ambitious castle by the sea'. He is unaware of how the ballad ends.As a gentleman-in-waiting to a Danish royal princess, he is summoned to a six-month spell of duty in Copenhagen.
