In the opulent Córdoba of the second half of the 16th century, a young Morisco, torn between two cultures and two loves, begins a passionate struggle for religious tolerance and the rights of his people.

The story of a young man caught between two religions and two loves, seeking freedom for himself and his people in 16th-century Andalusia.

In 1568, in the valleys and mountains of the Alpujarras, the cry of rebellion has erupted: fed up with injustice, exploitation, and humiliation, the Moriscos rise against the Christians, beginning an unequal struggle that can only end in their defeat and dispersal throughout the kingdom of Castile.

Among the rebels is young Hernando. The son of a Morisca and the priest who violated her, he is rejected by the Moriscos because of his origin, and by the Christians because of the culture and customs of his family.
