Diana, Countess of Belflor, is a sharp, impulsive and intelligent young lady. She is in love with Teodoro, her secretary, but finds out that he is engaged to Marcela. Driven by jealousy and envy, she does all she can to separate the two lovers. Film adaptation of Lope de Vega’s play that respects the text in verse.
The objective of this first festival, co-organised by the Malaga City and Provincial Councils, aims to disseminate pre-20th century theatrical heritage, with a special focus on Spain’s Golden Age, in the city and the province of Malaga. By combining theatrical performances with film screenings and training, the festival also seeks to foster encounters with professionals of the sector and to enhance the value and comprehension of classical theater. Each show is geared at a specific audience, including all audiences, young people and adults.
