In the early nineteenth century, Cuba is a Spanish colony and a slave society in which labour has been kidnapped in African lands and sold like cattle to the Spanish and Creole landowners. The ideals of emancipation, enlightenment and the French and American revolutions have also reached the Caribbean. In the midst of this environment of inconsistencies, enigmas, dreams and endless tragedies, Ursula, a freed slave woman from Haiti, and Cornelio, a German merchant, star in a love story that created the hope of living in a better world bravely brought to fruition in the richest coffee plantation in Cuba: Angerona.
