This tale of adventure takes place in medieval France. The young count Aucassin falls in love with Nicolette – a girl whose origin no one knows because she was bought from pirates as a young girl. Aucassin’s father is against their relationship and so the lovers have no choice but to flee far away over the sea. They come to the land of Tramtaria where Nicolette is captured once again and seemingly lost for good. But true love knows no obstacles and finally the lovers’ paths cross once more.
