Morelos, Mexico. 1910. The son of a wealthy landowner returns to his parents’s home to find his future… only to fall deeply in love with a humble servant girl. As forbidden personal passions burn, so do political ambitions. It is the eve of the Mexican Revolution, and what happens on the hacienda changes destinies forever.
