He has one property, though, which makes life with him rather difficult: he always says the truth whereever he is, even in situations where a small compliment or a tactful fib would have been more appropriate. In the course of three weeks, a crazy romance develops between Harald and Rica, who has fallen in love against her will in the naive and honest visitor.
