Seville, Spain - 1504. It has been twelve years since Columbus landed in the Americas.
Rumors of an ongoing genocide in the new colonies are starting to make their way back
to Spain. Maxima Terrible Segunda is a hunchback living locked away from the eyes of
the world in the Royal Palace. On the coldest day of the year, her adopted sister, The
Queen, pays her a visit accompanied by her bratty daughter, next in line for the throne.
Soon enough Maxima is faced with tough decisions to make - revolving love, identity,
and her country’s fate. This thriller-comedy breaks all rules of time and language, and
our perception of history. No one is as righteous as they think they are.
