In the organizer's words:

"Give freedom of thought!" the charismatic Posa demands of King Philip II, whose rigid ruling apparatus threatens to suffocate Catholic Spain, but above all the oppressed Protestant provinces of Flanders, in the stranglehold of the Inquisition. But neither the lonely king nor his unstable son Carlo prove to be the hoped-for saviors for the freedom fighter: Philip is too caught up in the rigid corset of duty and tradition, and the crown prince has become too deeply entangled in love with his stepmother Elizabeth. In the end, they will all be victims of a ruthless church regime in which there is no room for human emotion.
