Inés of My Soul

1 ▶ A New World After her mother’s death, Inés Suárez lives in Plasencia with her sister Asunción and her authoritarian grandfather.

Without anything or anyone tying her to the New World, Inés arranges an audience with Francisco Pizarro, Marquis of Peru, to ask him for a ticket back to Spain. But her desire to return will have to wait until the Carnival celebrations are over and there are boats available.

But, in order to reach the ‘Promised Land,’ they will first have to cross the Atacama Desert, a vast, sandy terrain that threatens to consume all of their resistance: not only will they have to face the harshness of the land, but the threat of the Mapuches will also loom over them.

Since then, Valdivia has been completely dedicated to the conquest of the country, while Inés spends her days alone and bored in the city except for when she is with Rodrigo de Quiroga, Valdivia’s officer and right-hand man.

In the face of this desperate situation, a small group of soldiers who are dissatisfied with the project of conquest plots to rise up against Valdivia, who seems oblivious to the suffering of his own people.

During this time, the Chilean city has become a prosperous place thanks to the management of Inés, who has had the invaluable help of Quiroga. For his part, Valdivia has increased his fame by suffocating a new civil war in the Indies.

After the couple formalize their relationship, the Governor becomes extremely irascible and pours all his anger and frustration into the conquest of Arauco. So much so, that Valdivia proposes a crazy plan to complete it as soon as possible and thus satisfy his hunger for glory. Not watched yet 63m
