Ferrante, the king of Portugal, must marry his son, Don Pedro, to the Infanta of Navarre. He is unaware that Don Pedro has secretly wed Dona Inès de Castro, who is carrying his child. The two lovers are sacrificed on the altar of reason of state. The play dramatizes two types: those who cannot do without power, and those who have the power to do without it. The film stresses the dramatist’s astonishing modernity; here he reveals his real nature, that of a writer whose stature we have tended to minimize.
