»We see each other again in a better world, the first hour of eternity has already struck for us...« (Elisabeth)

For political reasons, the Spanish infante Don Carlo is proposed to marry the French princess Elisabetta. Despite the diplomatic background of the intended liaison, the two fall in love, but the supposed happiness soon fails: Carlo's father Filippo himself takes Elisabetta as his wife. From the perspective of the religious-patriarchal system, the lust of young people is thus transformed into incest. But the desire remains, becomes even greater and acting out against the background of the strict laws is at the same time more dangerous. The son rebels, the new queen sees herself caught in her own disharmony between political duty and human fulfillment. Meanwhile, the Marquis of Posa uses the desires of his fellow human beings to realize his supposed ideals of freedom.

Escape from this world, shaped by the depths of religious fanaticism and false ideals, seems almost impossible. And the viewer is drawn inexorably into the discourse about the soul and salvation.
