The willful beauty Yulia Argamakova is obsessed with the desire to control her own destiny. To spite her parents, she flees with a young Pole, Adam, on the night of the bloody uprising that arose in Warsaw in November 1830. The mocking fate dealt her cards to Julia - and willy-nilly she is forced to follow the rules of this new, deadly game. She will face murder and separation, hatred and debauchery, dangerous intrigues, betrayal, a long journey... and passionate love, to which Julia, with her characteristic stubbornness, does not want to bow!
