Late sixteenth century. A Tameme Indian man and a noble Spanish woman flee through the forests of the New World in search of freedom. Their frantic journey softens the tension between them and dissolves their longstanding differences and creates intimate bonds that threaten their very survival.

　电影开始时像一个典型的两代间的冲突故事，少女蓓姿就像其他青春期的青少年一样，和父母有沟通上的困难；但当她与丹尼坠入爱河后，这个每个人都会经过的阶段却演变成悲剧。本影片是个隐喻，它透过蓓姿的眼睛来看世界，他眼中所见的事物并不美好，就连她的爱情也是乌云密布。
