La dama y el león

the long version

The 12th century peace between France and England depends upon Aalis de Sainte' Noire and his arranged marriage. Rebelling against the marriage, he fleas north to the Cathedral of Chartres and the courts of Maria de Champagne. Initially Aalis enjoys the playful, amorous atmosphere but soon discovers a sinister side caused by the nuns of Cister and the king's secret pacts. Aalis se rebela contra un matrimonio arreglado y emprende una huida. Sus perseguidores no le concederán tregua en esa aventura en que la joven sólo podrá fiarse de su instinto frente a los mil peligros de una Edad Media espléndida y terrible.
