Synopsis:

1928. The whole world is enthralled by Constance Nielsen, a beautiful American debutante who marries into one of Europe's ancient Royal Families. In doing so, she almost single-handedly puts the tiny Alpine principality of Centoluci on the map, and investment, high-class tourism and international glamour rapidly follow what is the 'Wedding of the Century' so far. Soon though she realises that her marriage to the Crown Prince is a loveless arrangement of state convenience, and she embarks on an impassioned affair with her music teacher Alvaro who gives her the love, respect and purpose that her official role is unable to provide. As their 'friendship' threatens to spark uproar, a house fire engulfs Alvaro's old town attic, and news of both their deaths turns her from living legend into tragic heroine and timeless icon. 1972. Forty-four years later, her famous jewelry surfaces on the black market, and on a remote Caribbean island, Miss Vine, a piano teacher in her sixties, claims to be Princess Constance: very much alive, and with a priceless story to tell. . .
