Overcome with grief, her father refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of the household servants. Dina grows up wild and unmanageable, with her only friend being the stable boy, Tomas.

Everything I Liked ;)

Very few of way too many films I have seen. I have watched classics, epics, great comedies, foreign films, superb horror, fine series both domestic & foreign, & of course movies that were just garbage. LOL Low brow writing is one of the worst forms of art.
