France, 10th century. Disillusioned with women, the stern Viking leader Ingmar vowed never to fall in love again, but only to use them and abandon them. And the charming Frankish countess has the same opinion about men - she doesn’t want to get married or obey anyone at all. Could the beautiful Clarissa know that this cruel world was created by men for themselves, and she would go to the fierce warrior as spoils of war... however, the unwanted husband gives her the kind of love for which she is ready to die.
