Description

The year is 1212, in Teruel, Spain, Isabel and Juan Diego are planning to announce their engagement. They were friends as children and as they grew up they fell in love with each other and both families agreed that when they got old enough they would marry. Unfortunately, as time passed, Juan Diego’s family finds itself in financial straits. Without notice, Isabel’s father cancels the engagement for he realizes he would have to bail out Juan Diego’s family via the dowry. Heartbroken, Juan Diego begs Isabel’s father for another opportunity to regain her hand. It is agreed that he would have five years to recoup the family’s fortune. The following day he leaves town in search of fortune. Five years pass and Juan Diego isn’t heard from again.

The year is now 1217 and Isabel’s father arranges another marriage to happen on the fifth anniversary of the agreement, therefore keeping his promise. During Isabel’s wedding Juan Diego returns thinking he’s a day early, for he understood the agreement to be five years from the day he had left Teruel. When he realizes the error he rushes to the church What occurred in the next 24 hours shocked, startled, and broke the hearts of all those involved.
