The Indies

Directed by Pauline Julier

In 17th century Europe, an era of scientific discoveries and distant colonisation, two French soldiers and young Spanish nobleman Alejandro are tasked with delivering the portrait of the Infanta of Spain to the young king of France, Louis XIV, in order to seal a fragile alliance between the two crowns. The journey to Versailles is long and arduous and the path back to civilisation and the emerging modern world remains uncertain.
