The film is a portrait of the last years in the life of Jos+ª Mar+­a Morelos y Pav+Ýn (1812-1815), hero of the Mexican Independence who after escaping the forces of Gral. Calleja in Cuautla, reassembles his troops and takes Oaxaca; nevertheless, having on his side more than half of Mexico-Ýs territory he is really hell bent on invading the Port of Acapulco. The film captures his relations with his fellow combat man, his ideals and his constant worrying of having a trained army to combat the "Realistas". The film captures the two sides of the hero; his contradictions but all his true passions.
