The epic film, directed by Vulo Radev, tells the tragic story of Fanny Horn and Father Eredia. Amidst the back drop of the Spanish Civil War the British noblewoman and Jesuit Priest begin to fall in love; however, this runs contrary to Father Eredia's faith. He places his fanatic devotion for his faith above their immense attraction. Eventually, Fanny Horn leads the priest to a typhus outbreak, where Pena Ronda is a patient at a camp there. Finally, Fanny seduces Eredia in an act that would seal their fate. The priest's feelings of guilt lead to his loss of sanity and Fanny begins to take morphine.
