In Renaissance Italy, stories were told of the deep friendship and love between the Sienese poet Laudomia Forteguerri and Duchess Margaret of Parma, bastard daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor. This story pushes past the history books to imagine how their lives intertwined, and dares to imagine a happy ending.
