What Is Heart Beats of Long Ago About?
The premise of Heart Beats of Long Ago without spoilers.
A bitter feud divides two Italian families, making any intrusion deadly. The lord hosts a lavish banquet for a wealthy foreign noble he hopes will become his son‑in‑law. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter already loves the enemy’s son. She tosses her father’s signet ring to the lover so he can attend. When the father discovers an intruder, he orders anyone who enters the hall slain. After the feast the forbidden couple tries to meet; the girl hides him in a secret closet, locking the key on herself. A guard enters, finds nothing, and leaves, assuming he was mistaken.
