In the Los Laureles farmhouse, owned by don Juan Manuel Almodóvar, a wealthy Andalusian landowner, preparations are made to receive José Luis, Juan Manuel’s only son, who is being educated at a Jesuit school in England and returning to spend the vacation with his father. Since the death of his wife, Juan Manuel has put all the affection in his son, whom he adores and more since he sees that he feels the same for him. The father does everything his son tells him, even when he asks him to accompany him to Remedio’s Inn, where “Colorín” lives, a blind gypsy girl. But in the later party a serious accident occurs.
