Madame Mosalska, employed as an interpreter in a large Stockholm store, is a woman who no one knows much about. She is Russian, she speaks seven languages, and she lives in a void, her past buried beneath the shambles of the First World War and the Revolution. But ten years ago, Madame Mosalska was the beautiful young wife of Baron du Wöru, whose fall from grace was the scandal of court circles in the Moscow and St Petersburg of 1915. Now, in Stockholm, she meets again the lover for whom she deserted her husband ... the lover who in turn had deserted her.
