An actor is sentenced to death after having presented a play included on the inquisition’s black list. However, he is given the chance to reprieve by re-enacting the story about Columbus. Subsequently, we follow him in his struggle to convince the Spanish establishment about the viability of the idea about finding the passage to India by sailing towards the west. Despite of the fact that his project succeeds, he is not capable of satisfying the thirst for gold of the rulers.
