Olga Benetti

La Signora delle Camelie chronicles the tragic love story of courtesan Marguerite Gautier and provincial bourgeois Armand Duval. Armand’s father disapproves of the relationship and convinces Marguerite to leave Armand, making him believe that she has left him for another man.

It all begins when Nirka takes the daughter she has had by Prince Rodolpho and hands her to a confederate. He in turn hands her over to a hag, who first torments her, and later abandons her to an orphanage.

The film is set during the Crusades and describes Godfrey of Bouillon's conquest of Jerusalem in 1099.
