A dreamlike, chimerical masterpiece from a lost pre-war Europe—critically acclaimed and rightly revered.

Baron Bagge, a cavalry officer stationed in Eastern Europe during the First World War, receives orders to ride into a platoon of Russian machine guns. But instead of meeting certain death, he and his brigade pass, unscathed, into a bizarrely peaceful land where festivities are in full swing. There he meets Charlotte Szent-Kiraly, and finds himself falling in a strange, enchanted love—a love harrowed at its edges by the threat of the enemy, and the peculiar fragility of this country's otherworldly peace.
