Land of Love

Overview

Emiliano Larios was a singer, educated by his family to be a priest. He lived with his two sisters, Ofelia and Aurora, and their mother Berta. Aurora was the only one at home that thought that Emiliano was not cut out to be a priest. One day, Emiliano met Blanca Moscote, a woman who had only just arrived from Europe and is the daughter of Colonel Moscote, who is hiding from a secret. When she arrives after the death of her father and finds their Hacienda enveloped in chaos, she decides to take matters into her own hands. When Emiliano and Blanca met, they fall madly in love and Emiliano says he will renounce his plans to become a priest, but everything turns to smoke when Blanca’s secret is revealed, that she married in Italy and her husband has come to claim her. At that moment, Emiliano decides to go to Spain to become a priest, but once he gets there, he finds an accordion and does not like what happens at the seminary. He decides to return to his country with his accordion and become a great musician. Back home, he reunites with Blanca and they decide to run away together. Someone finds out about their plans and tips off Guiseppe Palerme, Blanca’s husband, and her older brother Macario Moscote. They find Emiliano kill him. A year after Emiliano’s death, a steam hovers over the country. It is the first shipment of accordions that start arriving in cratefuls from the Hohner plant in Germany.
