Synopsis
After an old couple gets married, their niece, Melita, falls in the water of the "river of gold" and shouts for help. Antonio saves her life and Carolina becomes jealous. On a train, Ze, a goldsmith and gypsy visionary, tries to sell Melita a gold necklace. Unfortunately, he "sees" the innocent girl's past life: she is said to have killed her lover and painted their love chamber with his blood. Terrified, Ze flees. Carolina runs after him, steals the necklace and becomes his mistress. She wants him to tell her this terrifying secret.
