This love story between Chris, an Italian American, and Isa, a Hispanic, takes place in New York City in the Public Library on Forty second Street on October 12, 1992.
They meet in the library while the music of the Columbus Day parade is heard from the street.
The characters magically become Cristoforo Colombo, Queen Isabella, King Ferdinand and Cardinal Talavera.
Love, tension, conflict, beautiful songs and the voyage are followed by problems, rebellion, doubts, mutiny ... land!
Cristoforo, who was not allowed to love Queen Isabella, falls in love with an Indian woman.
He names her Isabella.
Back in Spain there are celebrations with songs and dancing.
Chris and Isa, happy lovers, join the 1992 parade as love and the human spirit triumph.
