SYNOPSIS

In 1820 Andrea Carbayo de Jovellanos, The Frenchwoman, daughter of Gloria Carbayo, the Enchantress, and Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, Jovino, writes her memoirs to record the adventures and misadventures that brought her to the place where she is now, persecuted by the unyielding inquisitor Valdés. We will relive her childhood in Obiedo and travel with her to Oxford, where, disguised as a man, she will be present for the birth of vital discoveries in modern medicine. In Paris she experiences the Revolution first-hand with her inseparable Olympe de Gouges, devoting herself to the struggle for women's rights and her work at the printing press. Progressive, intellectual, debater, writer, translator, teacher, feminist... Andrea was ahead of her time in many respects, but this was not enough to prevent her from being erased from history, like so many other women throughout time everywhere across the globe.
