synopsis
Ignoring the alarmed advice of his noblemen and counselors, young King Sebastian fuels his religious obsession to go to war with the Muslims. They warn that Portugal can't afford it, but he brushes them off. Even his mother, Queen Catarina, cannot sway his fervor to fight the infidels, expand his kingdom and achieve glory. A mysterious figure called the Holy Cobbler challenges his fanatical ideas, calling down ghostly voices to talk to him. But he is no wiser the next morning.
