Consul Harrington Brande has had neither a successful personal life nor a successful career. Having received a minor post in a small Spanish town, he moves there with his son, Nicholas. A selfish and overbearing father, he forbids the boy from seeing his mother, prevents him from attending school under the pretext of poor health, and does not allow him to socialize with his peers. Consequently, Nicholas quickly strikes up a friendship with José, a young and friendly gardener. Sensing that his son is slipping from his rigid control, an embittered Harrington Brande resorts to questionable measures to break the bond between Nicholas and José...
