A House Of Correction

A world war threatens. On a remote and wild frontier stands a lonely castle with strange inhabitants. A bedridden poet and three women who may be his mistresses. Into this tense world rides a government messenger whose satchel contains the dispatch that might just spark the conflict. His mission is of the utmost urgency but despite all his attempts he is unable to leave. And all the time strange aircrafts pass overhead from both directions, dropping not bombs but poems....

Can the women save him? Do they want to?
Will the messenger ever escape?
And why does he have a dancing horse?
