The Indies
Les Indes
Synopsis
In 17th-century Europe, Alejandro, a young Spanish nobleman, is tasked with delivering the portrait of the Infanta of Spain to Louis XIV, still a child. It is intended to seal the alliance between the two crowns. Fascinated by the promises of the New World, lands to be conquered and new trade routes to be opened, Alejandro is escorted by two French soldiers. As the portrait advances, the trio descend deeper into a Europe ravaged by wars and uprisings. The journey to the French court is long and arduous, and the path back to civilization and the modern world emerging remains uncertain.
