Shifting love triangles, comic hijinks, betrayal and deceptions–is this really a single, unforgettable night in Toledo? Abandoned and irate, Lisena has come to Toledo to seek her lover, Florencio, who fled to Granada after wounding a rival. In Toledo, they encounter soldiers on the make, dubious ladies, thwarted lovers, and other surprises. Under the cover of darkness and disguise, the characters use ingenuity and humor to test whether they can rewrite their destinies and identities.
