Successful businessman and aristocrat Jonas Deveson desperately lacked parental love as a child, and throughout his adult life he dreams of his own ideal family: a beautiful wife from a good family, children, pets. Only fate has a peculiar sense of humor: Jonas falls in love with Ravenna, who does not at all correspond to his imaginary ideal. In addition, she is the daughter of a woman whom he indirectly blames for the death of his mother.
