La Dolorosa

About the show

At a convent, the monk Rafael paints an image of La Dolorosa from memories of his former love, Dolores. Perico, his helper, falls in love with Nicasia, and they prepare to marry. Dolores, abandoned by another man, seeks help; Rafael struggles between his feelings for her and his vows. With the prior’s permission, he leaves the convent, renounces his vows, and reunites with Dolores as Perico and Nicasia wed.
