Hernán Cortés has captured the Aztec emperor Moctezuma in his palace. He's preparing for the imminent attack of Moctezuma's brother Cuitláuac, who disbelieves religious predictions that announce the triumphal return of the creed of the Feathered Serpent, goddess banished by Huitzilopochtli, god of the war, human sacrifice and cannibalism.

By addressing each other in florid terms, Moctezuma outlines a conciliatory and yet apocalyptic character, while Cortés embodies the determination and cunning of the conquerors.

In a lyrical anguage, Hugo Noël Santander-Ferreira recreates the dilemmas of power: to fight against enemies that represent change or to allow fate to take its course.
