Una historia de amor en la España del siglo XIX.
Pepe Rey, hombre de ideas liberales, acude a Orbajosa, pequeña ciudad episcopal castellana, donde piensa casarse con una prima suya, Rosario, matrimonio acordado por su padre, Juan, y por la hermana de éste, la madre de la novia, Perfecta, viuda de Polentinos. Los novios se gustan de inmediato, apenas conocerse, y se declaran amor eterno. Sin embargo, el malmetimiento de un canónigo de la catedral, don Inocencio, descarrila las buenas intenciones del padre y de la tÃa, y contrarÃa el flechazo amoroso sentido por los jóvenes. La infeliz marcha de los acontecimientos desemboca en un enfrentamiento entre la tÃa y el sobrino, cuando ésta se niega a que la hija se case con un descreÃdo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A love story set in nineteenth-century Spain.
Pepe Rey, a man with liberal ideas, travels to Orbajosa, a small episcopal Castilian town, where he intends to marry his cousin Rosario, a marriage arranged by his father, Juan, and his sister, Rosario's mother, Perfecta, widow of Polentinos. The couple immediately like each other upon meeting and declare eternal love. However, the interference of a cathedral canon, Don Inocencio, derails the good intentions of the father and aunt, and opposes the young couple's budding romance. The unfortunate turn of events culminates in a confrontation between the aunt and her nephew, when she refuses to allow her daughter to marry a nonbeliever.
