Madrid 1635. Queen Isabel de Borbón, nicknamed by the Spanish people “the desired one,” summons the writer Calderón de la Barca to her intimate chambers to give him a very special and dangerous assignment. A secret relationship, an intellectual and liberal woman for her time, a writer who tries to climb socially and be recognized as an artist, a queen who seeks to leave her inheritance in time and the sexual tension between them.
