In 1856 a yacht arrives in Paita. On board is Herman Melville who is surprised to learn that Manuela Sáenz is still alive. Manuela has been the mistress of Simón Bolívar for eight years. Herman's visit to her makes her open another chest full of letters from Simon. When she reads it, she remembers everything. She meets 'the Liberator' in 1822, becomes his lover and, moreover, she becomes a colonel in his military movement to realize 'Gran Colombia': South America as a great nation.
