Edgar Moortgat, an anarchic Dutch artist, visits Poland in 1967 and is swept into a fierce romance with the striking Aleksandra Ambrosaitis, called the Comtesse. For months they shuttle between the two countries, outwitting officials and hostile states. Moortgat bristles at communist rule yet finds Western society barely less stifling. Letters, a review and short tales are set within the story, which closes a trilogy about him.
