A young Englishwoman, planning to become a doctor, and a descendant of the conquistadors, by chance, ended up on the same expedition searching for material traces of the Inca civilization in the Andes. The beauty and mystery of the surrounding nature, the extraordinary adventures and difficulties that befall the heroes, bring them together. However, the life paths of these so different people, it seems, must inevitably diverge. And indeed, the girl returns to calm, predictable England, leaving her fairy-tale love in Peru. But for how long?..
