A romantic comedy fairy-tale about the Princess who dreamed about great and passionate love but did not know how to be loving. Princess Lucy is a sweet and tender girl but all her suitors end up in the castle dungeon. She only finds the knight of her dreams in romantic novels and she tries to cast herself into the mould of their ethereal heroines. So she refuses to eat, causing worry to her father and their faithful servants. The young cook is in love with her and finally he and the King show the Princess that hunger is the best cook and that the best meal is one enjoyed after a hard day’s work. And that a grand passion need not always have a tragic end.
