By the sacred spring in the forests near her home, Lavinia, young princess of Latium, encounters a poet - a soothsayer - who foretells her future: to marry a Trojan hero named Aeneas and found a great kongdom and a mighty dynasty. Lavinia's mother has other plans - to marry her daughter off to an ambitious neighbouring king - and her father is plagued with indecision. But when a fleet of foreign warships sails into the mouth of the river Tiber, Lavinia knows her destiny is calling.
