Women discover cycling - Hanna Caspian takes us back to the time when two-wheelers conquered the road

 

Berlin, 1888 - Felicitas Louisburg, daughter of a railway tycoon, has endless opportunities, but she has no personal freedom. She can only afford everything if it pleases her father. The only thing she can decide for herself is the colour of her next ball gown. At a summer ball, she is supposed to look for someone to marry. But to seal a major contract and secure the future of his empire, her father has already secretly promised her.

 
Now, of all times, she meets Lorenz - student, inventor and anything but proper. When he secretly teaches her how to ride a bike and shows her the light-heartedness of life, she never wants to give up this freedom or this fascinating man. She has little time left to rebel. Otherwise, her dreams and plans will be buried forever.
