The story is set in the mid-nineteenth century, and the villainess/false heroine is one Contessa (Countess) Annunziata, played by stunning Brandenburg veteran Renate Blume:

| Look down, look down, don't look her in the eye... look down, look down, that cup may make you die...! |
The Contessa is dark because the true heroine, commoner Konstanze, is blond. Doesn't the Contessa remind me of Shakespeare's Dark Lady...? Though she is, to me, a dead ringer for the unfortunate Thekla von Wallenstein (fallen princess, traitor's daughter, broken belle, violent and painful death...)!

| What Thekla would be like if she was born and raised in Victorian times... |
The interior of Schloss Contessa is also Art Nouveau/Gaudi style, like I picture Katla's estate. She also appears to be wearing a kimono in this picture. Though I have a more flapper-kimono style outfit for my redhead Katla!
