Spain, 1791. While the Inquisition pursues the ideas of revolutionary France, Goya paints Inés Bilbatua. The Dominican Lorenzo Casamares crosses his fate with hers upon seeing her drawings. Love, betrayals and persecutions lead to the Napoleonic invasion and the restoration of Ferdinand VII; the novel evokes Goya's pictorial universe.
