Summary:

Through a monoplane the viewer crosses the palace grounds and watches the people of the time in successive roles. From the lower apartments the cook and then the maid goes up to the first floor, where the noblewomen live. The narrative reaches its climax as the "queen" of Mystras enters the throne room, only to be revealed to be a visitor who, traveling back in time, identifies with figures of the time.
