The Indian Queen is the tale about the historically impossible battle between Incas and Aztecs. Against this backdrop of baroque exoticism, an intrigue unfolds that falls somewhere between political drama and family saga. The mysterious warrior Montezuma helps the Peruvian army to a victory. As a reward, he asks for the hand of Orazia, daughter of the Inca ruler. When the latter refuses, Montezuma switches camps. Now he glories for the Mexicans, instigated by Queen Zempoalla. Complication: her son Acacis also loves Orazia. Montezuma captures the Inca and Orazia, after which Zempoalla's general Traxalla kidnaps them to execute them. In an attempt to save Orazia, Montezuma and Acacis get captured themselves. But things get really hectic at the junction of political and personal interests when Traxalla also falls in love with Orazia, and Zempoalla falls for Montezuma. Not following anymore? Let's fast-forward: a magician's consultation, two obscure marriage proposals, a duel and an unexpected appearance later, Montezuma's true identity comes to light. By then, the havoc is barely palpable and you imagine yourself in a season finale of Games of Thrones.
