There Anton meets Edith, the baron’s daughter, who uses a wheelchair after a riding accident.

As Anton grows more fond of her, he must decide whether his feelings are pity or genuine love.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Anton Abildgaard is a noble and dutiful young man whose highest priority is to complete his cavalry officer training with the greatest possible honor. During an exercise, he sees that Baron von Løvenskjold’s car is stuck in mud. He orders his platoon to help get it out. As a result, he is invited to a ball at von Løvenskjold’s castle. There he meets the baron’s beautiful daughter, Edith, who is in a wheelchair because of a riding accident. She is unhappy, but when Anton treats her as though she were an ordinary woman, she blossoms—to her father’s great delight—and falls passionately in love with him. Anton feels sorry for Edith, and the more time he spends with her, the more fond of her he becomes. However, he struggles to work out whether his feelings stem from pity or genuine love. In trying to do the right thing, he becomes ever more deeply entangled in promises, lies, and guilt toward Edith and the Løvenskjold family.
