Task: Question Generation
Input (English): The film takes place in Prague in 1820, where a poor young man named Balduin is the city's wildest student and greatest swordsman. However, his deteriorating finances and unrequited love toward a rich countess named Margit have left him depressed and withdrawn. While he broods over his predicament outside a beer hall, a strange old man named Scapinelli approaches him and tells him he may have a solution to his problems: he will make a deal with the young man to give him fabulous wealth and anything he wants, if Balduin will sign his name to a contract (i.e. make a deal with the Devil). The student hurriedly signs the contract, but doesn't know what he's in for.
