When Isabel, the beautiful daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella's respected court physician, discovers her family's secret Jewish roots, her bold actions put the family in peril as the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada threatens torture, expulsion, and death. The characterization of historic figures is over the top, but this is a powerful, dramatic portrayal of Spain's brutal years leading up to the 1492 Jewish expulsion.
