In December, 1986, Marta Abba is the guest of honor at a reception at Princeton University's Firestone Library. This is the bittersweet day when she will donate her collection of letters written to her by Italian playwright and Nobel prize winner, Luigi Pirandello. They had begun working together in 1925 and she appeared in several of his productions which he had written for her to star in. Their relationship had all the appearance of an affair and caused a scandal even though, in truth, she steadily refused to become his mistress. On this day at Princeton, while others are making speeches, her mind drifts and she recalls moments from the past when, as a young actress, she was Pirandello's Muse.
