"For you see, Luisa, to be loved is one thing, but to be understood is everything."
Carlo Cipriani

In 1521, to escape a terrible tragedy, Carlo Cipriani leaves Spain. However, the ship upon which he and his stallion, Cantante, are aboard, sinks during a hurricane.

Forced to live out his days on a narrow strip of sand and vegetation, Carlo writes in his journal to explain to his young daughter why he abandoned her without a single word of goodbye. As he relives his life in Spain, it becomes obvious he will never find happiness again unless a miracle occurs … both to save his life and—if possible—to free him from the heartbreak of his past.
