Sinopse
Set in the splendor and terror of the Spanish Inquisition, Flame in the Wind tells the story of Carlos, an earnest young nobleman who is faced with a choice: the church system offers safety, protection, and respectability; the Scriptures offer Christ and salvation from sin—and with these torture and death.
Nos primeiros anos do século XIX, em meio ao radicalismo da Inquisição e à iminente invasão da Espanha pelas tropas de Napoleão Bonaparte (Craig Stevenson), o gênio artístico do pintor espanhol Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgård) é reconhecido na corte do Rei Carlos IV (Randy Quaid). Inés (Natalie Portman), a jovem modelo e musa do pintor, é presa sob a falsa acusação de heresia. Nem as intervenções do influente Frei Lorenzo (Javier Bardem), também retratado por Goya, conseguem evitar que ela seja brutalmente torturada nos porões da Igreja. Estes personagens e os horrores da guerra, com os seus fantasmas, alimentam a pintura de Goya, testemunha atormentada de uma época turbulenta.
In the sixteenth century, Miguel de Cervantes, poet, playwright, and part-time actor, has been arrested, together with his manservant, by the Spanish Inquisition. They are accused of presenting an entertainment offensive to the Inquisition. Inside the huge dungeon into which they have been cast, the other prisoners gang up on Cervantes and his manservant, and begin a mock trial, with the intention of stealing or burning his possessions. Cervantes wishes to desperately save a manuscript he carries with him and stages, with costumes, makeup, and the participation of the other prisoners, an unusual defense--the story of Don Quixote.
