Synopsis
Eighteen-year-old Mistral arrives in Monte Carlo on the Côte D'Azur, accompanied by her aunt Emilie and a servant, Jeanne. Dressed entirely in grey, Mistral draws attention in the salons and ballrooms and her identity becomes a subject of speculation in Monte Carlo society. Several men are attracted to her, including a man named Sir Robert Stanford. But her aunt permits her to speak only with the Russian Prince Nikolai. Even though Mistral finds herself attracted to Sir Robert, she obeys her aunt. Emilie's restrictions, however, stem from her own motives rather than a concern for her niece.
