Summary of La Ciudad de los Prodigios
In the late 1800s, a time when Spain is plagued by disease and poverty, young and ambitious Onofre Bouvila (Olivier Martinez) arrives in Barcelona in search of fortune. He soon meets Delfina (Emma Suarez), his landlord?s anarchist daughter, who introduces Onofre to the city?s political scene. After no luck finding a job, the protagonist is lured into the dark world of organized crime where he must compromise his morals to find monetary success. The only thing standing in the way of social climber Onofre is Delfina and he finds himself caught between true love and ambition. Based on the best selling novel by Eduardo Mendoza, this historical drama questions life?s priorities in a timeless manner. In Spanish with English Subtitles El joven y ambicioso Onofre Bouvila (Olivier Martínez SWAT, Unfaithful) llega a Barcelona en busca de fortuna a finales del siglo XIX, época en la que España esta plagada de enfermedades y pobreza. Allí, Onofre conoce a Delfina (Emma Suárez), la hija de su arrendador; quien lo introduce a las esferas políticas de la sociedad. Luego de buscar trabajo sin suerte, el protagonista se sumerge en el oscuro mundo del crimen organizado donde compromete hasta su moral para obtener éxito monetario. Lo único que se interpone entre él y su manera de ascender socialmente es Delfina, por lo que se ve atrapado entre el verdadero amor y su ambición.
