In eighteenth century Spain, a beggar comes to the castle of a cruel aristocrat on his wedding day to beg for food. The beggar is locked in the dungeon, where he is forgotten. The mute daughter of the jailer feeds him throughout the years. After she grows to adulthood, the marquee attempts to rape her, and her resistance has her imprisoned along with the beggar, who in turn rapes her instead. When she is released, she kills the marquee and flees to the forest. She is found living like an animal in the woods by Don Alfredo and he brings her home. Soon his servant Teresa finds that she is pregnant. When she gives birth to a boy on Christmas, she dies and the boy Leon is raised by Don Alfredo and Teresa. A few years later they learn the curse that the boy carries with him, and the local priest advises that he must be raised with love. What will happen to Leon?
