Kingdom of Castile, 15th century. A group of nobles, who question the dynastic legitimacy of Princess Juana, daughter of King Enrique IV, conspire with the purpose of overthrowing him.
Costume
15th-century Spanish court fashion that screams 'I have a poison ring.'
Acting
José María Rodero's pathetic, wounded Enrique IV steals every scene.

Director
Francisco Rovira Beleta
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Spain's transition to democracy, this quietly rehabilitates Isabel I as national unifier while the country debated its own fractured identity.
Maribel Martín played Isabel at 22; the real queen was 23 when she seized the throne. The casting's almost suspiciously precise.
