Plot

Immacolata (Redgrave) is a peasant girl and mistress of the count, but when he turns his attentions back to his wife he has Immacolata committed to a mental asylum.

But their happiness is blighted by criminal actions and a fight for freedom.[1]

Cast
gollark: Lighting idea: Project Orion, but the pusher plate is transparent and you direct the explosion's force away from you.
gollark: This is why all emojicons should have offline backup copies.
gollark: Computers are quite low-power nowadays. Although possibly less so than LED bulbs.
gollark: If anyone complains that it's "wrong" somehow just turn the power directed at them up a bit.
gollark: Lighting idea: simulate bright lighting on a much lower power budget using dim and somewhat unfocused lasers, computer vision-y cameras and digital light processing to aim """"safe"""" beams directly into people's eyes.
