The narrative centers on Queen Juana of Castile, whose passionate love for Prince Philippe unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and societal constraints. Through the lens of young Lucía's encounter with art historian Manuel, the story explores themes of love, independence, and madness. Juana's fiery spirit clashes with the expectations of the Renaissance court, leading to her being labeled insane as she navigates the treacherous waters of power and desire. The tale questions whether her struggles are a result of her own choices or the machinations of those around her.
