Just looking good. The heroine's name is Elise. The actors are beautiful, charming, petite and weak.
A period of Spanish history, the revolving door of the regime change, the church ups and downs. There was the intervention of Napoleon's army, and there was the intervention of the British army. The lives of the people are like weeds and miserable like hell.
Royal painter Goya, who survived disasters, painted what he saw with his eyes.

Elise, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, was imprisoned by the Holy Office for excluding infidels. In prison, gave birth to the daughter of priest Lorenzo, but was sent to a convent? Orphanage? upbringing. The girl escaped from the orphanage and worked as a prostitute to make a living.
After Elise is released from prison, she turns to the painter, finds Lorenzo, and wants to find her daughter. Sent to an asylum by Lorenzo? prison? Afterwards, the painter went over and took Elise back.
Lorenzo went through many twists and turns, from a priest to a revolutionary. With the help of the French army, return to Spain and take power. Get married and have children. After finding the daughter of a prostitute, she persuaded the unwitting daughter to emigrate, but was rejected. Subsequently, a deportation order was issued to drive the prostitutes from Spain to the American Empire, but they were intercepted by foreign troops on the way. Lorenzo was captured on the run and executed for not yielding to the church. The daughter was taken in by the military and watched her father be executed without knowing it.
Elise held the baby she picked up in her arms, accompanied Lorenzo's corpse car, clenched Lorenzo's corpse hand and kissed, and walked farther and farther. . .
The painter witnessed all this -------------
tragic and horrific. living hell.

    In fact, the overall level is not even three stars. After you sang and I came on stage, it was the ignorant masses who suffered. It was an old topic, and I didn’t say anything new. If you are entangled in a single role, you may not know it. It seems to be fairly smooth, and Baden's performance is also passable, barely 3 stars.

    I don't know much about the historical background and religion, which seriously affects the understanding of the film.
