瘟疫/黑死病第一季

During an outbreak of the bubonic plague in the magnificent Seville of 1587, Mateo, a former soldier, returns, honouring his word to find and extract a dead friend’s son from the city. Previously, Mateo had been forced to flee the city to save his life, having been sentenced to death by the Inquisition for printing forbidden books. Before he can complete his task, Mateo is arrested by the Inquisitor’s bailiffs, who promise to pardon his life in exchange for solving a series of crimes of diabolic overtones being committed in Seville. Premiere of the first two episodes of the new TV series directed by Alberto Rodríguez.

十六世纪下半叶，塞维利亚是西方世界的大城市，是欧洲通往美洲的门户。这座城市的富饶，依靠的是国际贸易和金银财富，同时也归功于共同生活与此的海内外人口：基督徒、皈依基督教的犹太人、受过洗礼的摩尔人、奴隶、获得自由的奴隶、流浪汉、盗贼、妓女、贵族、平民。同时，不平等、饥荒和传染病构成了这座城市的阴暗面。在一次黑死病的爆发中，塞维利亚社会中的几名杰出成员被杀。马特奥，一位被宗教法庭审判的罪犯，必须解决这一系列的凶案，才能得到宗教法庭的赦免，从而拯救自己的生命。这是一场孤掷一注的调查，面对的是一个极为复杂与矛盾的环境。在那里，公众压抑和私人享乐并存；神秘主义和混乱无序随处可见；修道院纪律涣散，妓院却法规森严；监狱俨然变为藏身之所，医院则成为葬身之地；背叛与忠诚交织涌动。
