Havana, first half of the 19th century. Cecilia, beautiful mestiza, ambitions the world of white aristocrats. His objective is Leonardo, a young nihilist and contradictory. Leonardo's mother opposes these loves and arranges his marriage to a rich girl. Cecilia, crazed with jealousy, induces one of her frustrated lovers to kill the bride on the day of the wedding.
