Doll

Falling in love with the charming aristocrat Isabella Lentzka, the promising scholar Stanisław Wokulski abandons science, immerses himself in commerce, and quickly amasses a fortune. However, the soulless and arrogant Isabella genuinely despises all "upstarts from the lower classes" and simply cannot appreciate the sacrifice of her enchanted admirer. And even if the girl accepts his gifts and courtship, Wokulski will remain for her just a pitiful toy…
