Madrid, 1868. A revolution, the Glorious Revolution, puts an end to the reign of Isabel II de Borbón (1843-1868), daughter of Fernando VII (1814-1833). These are turbulent times in the City and Court, conspiracies and the struggle for power dominate political life. Don Jaime de Astarloa, the best fencing master in the city, stays out of the intrigues. For him, there is only one thing worth fighting for: honour. The appearance on the scene of Adela Otero, a beautiful woman and skilled fencer, will be the final blow to his way of life. (FILMAFFINITY)
