Mad love (Juana la loca)

Isabel la Católica sends her daughter Juana to Flanders to marry Felipe “the handsome”. It is a marriage of a political nature that serves to seal and guarantee a dynastic alliance between the Catholic Monarchs and the Emperor of Germany Maximilian I, in order to isolate France. Following the same policy, the marriage of Catherine and Henry VIII of England had been arranged. However, Juana, madly in love with her husband, could not bear her infidelities; his excessive love often led to terrible and sickly attacks of jealousy. This situation combined with the schemes of the court contributed to deteriorate the marriage. A great blockbuster in Spain. It was also selected by the Academy of Spanish cinema to represent Spain at the Oscar Awards.
