The Grandfather
Don Rodrigo Count of Albrit, an old Spanish aristocratic, returns to turn of the century Spain after losing his fortune in America. The death of his only son has made him come back to his family estate, now in possession of his daughter in law, Lucrecia. Upon his return, Don Rodrigo is pleased to meet his granddaughters, Doli and Neli, both of which are adorable and attentive towards him. However there is something nagging Don Rodrigo.
His son died heartbroken after he discovered his wife was having an affair with a Parisian painter and he left a letter stating that one of the girls is an illegitimate child, not of his blood, and therefore not entitled to be his true heir or true successor to his name and country estate. To the Count of Albrit, is a matter of honor to know who of the girls is his real granddaughter. To uncover the truth he confronts his son's widow, Lucrecia.
