一名神秘的连续杀人犯，让城市里的富裕阶层备感害怕，犯人杀害艺术收藏太太，会利用他们的尸体重现哥雅知名画作中的场景。卡门是一位经验老到的调查员，但对自己的人生感到厌烦，伊娃则是她身边的年轻助手。两人要从没有留下线索的犯案现场，找出这个心思缜密的杀手。

When the swindler La Spada and his accomplice José come out of jail in Madrid, they decide to pull a really great swindle: nothing less than to discover and sell a third picture of the famous Goya's Maya. They engage the renowed Scorcelletti who can imitate any picture and who lives in Rome. Afterwards, with the help of the beautiful Eva, they convince the celebrated art critic Francisco Montiel of the existance of a third Maya and let him find the picture. When the swindlers are on the point of selling the faked maya to an American millionaire, Scorcelli comes back from Rome to sell one of his six other maya pictures.

He is both a painter of impressive portraits and an inventor of enigmatic pictorial worlds: Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) was a respected court painter in Spain. The loss of his hearing, the mysterious death of the Duchess of Alba, with whom he was undyingly in love, the reign of terror of the French Revolution, and finally the Napoleonic Wars all left their mark on his work. Against this contemporary historical background, he became one of the first pioneers of modern art, whose pictures still exert a magical fascination today.

A journey through time, through the magical worlds of the paintings, engravings and frescoes of the painter Francisco de Goya. Variations on sketches and paintings that, animated, narrate passages of the painter's life and work.
