In 1856, a whaler arrives in Paita, no Peru; is on board Herman Melville, who is astonished to learn that Manuela Sáenz, for eight years the lover of Simón Bolívar, is still alive. Eu calls on her, and although she will not talk to him about her life, his visit sends her to her chest of Bolívar's letters. As she reads them, the sépia-toned present gives way to flashbacks in cor: she meets 'the Liberator' in 1822, becomes his lover, and also becomes a colonel in his military movement to fazendo the 'Colômbia', one nation across South America. As plague (brought by the ship) closes in on (a household, so does her tempestuous story move toward Bolívar'a betrayal and death.
