In 1846, A. Dumas's widely known novel "The Countess de Monsoro" was published. France was the first country to film it. The first film was shot in 1913, but the best TV version, accurately conveying the historical events mentioned by the writer, was the 1971 television series. It was removed by J. Andrea, and Karin Petersen starred in the title role. There is also a more modern version of the film, filmed in 2008 by Michel Hassan, but it largely loses the previous version.

But there was a chance, and de Bussy met his stranger - the Countess de Monsoro.
