1629: out of Denmark's watery kingdom comes an historical romance as pungent as the salty air - a tale of opposites, of good and evil, light and darkness, tenderness and violence, music and silence... The Players: A young English lutenist whose golden looks conceal a troubled soul. The music-loving King of Denmark with a 'face like a loaf' The witty, adulterous and estranged wife of King Christian. The young and innocent escort to Kirsten, cast out of her father's house.
