Story
Oscar is a young girl ( Ekaterin McCall ), whose father dreamed of a boy. After the birth of his daughter, he began to dress her in men's suits and raised him like a son. Oscar achieves great success in his military career and falls into the royal guard of Marie-Antoinette (Christine Bom). In her youth, Oscar fell in love with Andre (Barry Stokes), the son of the housekeeper in their father’s house.
