La Tendresa / Tenderness ( FITAG OFF )

Free admission and limited capacity.

La tendresa (Tenderness) tells the story of a somewhat magical queen and her two daughters, who travel aboard the Spanish Armada, forced by King Philip II to enter into marriages of convenience with English nobles after invading England.

When the Armada passes near an island she believes to be deserted, the queen conjures a great storm that sinks the ship they are traveling on. Her plan is to live there with her daughters so they never have to see another man again. The problem is they choose an island where, for twenty years, a woodcutter has been living with his two sons…
