This biopic deals with the life of Lope De Vega, the Spanish playwright who dominated Spain's early Golden Age of theater. In 1583 Lope enlisted in the army and fought with the Spanish Navy in the Azores. Then he returned to Madrid and began his career as a playwright in earnest. He also began a love affair with Elena Osorio, an actress and the daughter of a leading theater owner. When, after some five years of this affair, Elena spurned Lope in favor of another suitor, his vitriolic attacks on her and her family landed him in jail for libel and, ultimately, earned him the punishment of eight years' banishment. He went into exile undaunted, in the company of Isabel De Urbina, the daughter of a prominent adviser at the court of Philip II, whom he was subsequently forced to marry.
