With his elegant Spanish wife Carmina, he escapes to an old family hacienda, planning to wait out the storm. What begins as an exile becomes a fantasy of absolute power. Detached from reality, Chema and Carmina crown themselves king and queen of an invented realm, transforming loyal workers into subjects.
