Luz de Candelas
Nieto, Ana B.
Galán, seductive, enlightened and lover of letters, adventurous. This is Luis Candelas, the young man who attracts the attention of all of Madrid. Of the women, whom he captivates with gestures and words; of men, because of his sympathy and good treatment, because they want to be like him; and, of course, from the police and the greats of Spain, who only want to see him imprisoned. Little José Zorrilla also falls for his charms and, as soon as he meets him, his entire world blows up. Son of the mayor and chief of the town's police, Zorrilla will enter, hand in hand with him, a revolutionary Madrid full of heart-stopping robberies, secret taverns, femme fatales and escapes from prison. He is a Madrid, without a doubt, fun, but also dangerous. And his friendship will finally be in danger when Zorrilla's father swears to arrest and kill Candelas. The boy, trapped between dreams of the future and real life, conspiracies and mortal spies, will be forced to choose: he can be faithful to his father, the feared Calomarde and the absolutists, or bet on the liberals and his beloved Candelas. And, meanwhile, he already imagines, in his shadow, what will be his masterpiece: Don Juan Tenorio.
