Sobre IBD

After the sudden death of his parents Viktor Baumeister inherits Blauenwald, an old Austrian castle surrounded by a village of the same name. He is not ready to take over the rein yet and has his manager take care of the estate. He marries an American widow with two sons and elderly parents. He has a deep-seated secret-only confessed to his priest-which he does not disclose to his wife until it is too late. He has to live with the consequences of youthful indiscretion and almost loses his wife’s love and loyalty. Only his honest commitment to become a responsible person and castle-owner wins him the respect of his family and citizens of Blauenwald.
