SYNOPSIS:

LEONOR DE VIBERO, daughter of a Spanish merchant living in England, a young and curious woman passionate about the theatre, wishes to leave London to return to Castile to marry a widow duke who is as rich as powerful. LEONOR leaves a desolate lover, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, a promising author of comedies who loves carnal pleasures as much as the applause of the public, back in London.

Once in Spain, LEONOR meets Miguel de CERVANTES, a previous soldier and man of letters who has lost faith in himself and his talent. Using her capacity for seduction and her enthusiasm, she convinces him to write a comedy to celebrate her marriage to the duke. But when Leonor starts to break down the resistance of the author, SHAKESPEARE unexpectedly appears, as he has decided to follow her to Spain in order to prevent his loved one from marrying the duke. LEONOR, making SHAKESPEARE pass off as a servant, sees the chance to join both the talent of both writers creating a unique piece of work.

CERVANTES will provide depth and wisdom, SHAKESPEARE the command of theatrical resources and humour. But deception does not last for long. The authors discover the ploy and become enemies. But just when the Englishman leaves the palace another catastrophe occurs. The daughters of the duke revive his jealousy convincing him that LEONOR has a lover to whom she has given a valuable family jewel, the wedding present of the duke. The future husband proves to be a quick-tempered and vindictive man who threatens LEONOR: if the jewel does not appear there will be an execution instead of a wedding.

To help Leonor and in spite of the rivalry and mistrust they both felt against each other at first, CERVANTES AND SHAKESPEARE end up collaborating, uniting quill and sword, to end up righting the wrongs more through their ingenuity than with fights… But do they?.
