When Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada, realises that his kingdom is doomed to disappear under the pressure from neighbouring kingdoms, he embarks on the construction of a building that will reflect all the splendour of their civilisation and defy oblivion: the Alhambra palaces. Ibn al-Khatib, his vizier will be in charge of making this dream a reality. Isabel Fernández’s film follows the architect, poet, writer, historian, physician and polititian al -Khatib in the conception of this masterpiece, the intrigues in 14th century Granada and the exceptional wisdom and craft put into these buildings.
