Outside Vallorgana, a tiny, isolated village high in the foothills of the Dolomites, the 'Duke' lives in the villa of his aristocratic ancestors. The last in the centuries' old line of the Cimamontes, he spends his days on his land and absorbed in the family archive, tolerated, if gently ridiculed by the villagers who are his neighbours. When he finds out that the village big man is taking timber from his land, he has a decision to make. Will he stay in his glorious, cerebral isolation or will he honour his ancestral blood and take action against this affront?
