Reading Candy-Candy, one can almost believe the story really happened somewhere once. A sweeping, epic romance that follows the tragic career of Oscar, a crossdressing woman raised to be a warrior and doomed to die defending Marie Antoinette and the French crown.

A chronicle of an imaginary country by the frontier, where dwell ordinary people, young and old.
