An adaptation of Francisco Navarro Villosladas historical novel Amaya o los vascos en el siglo VIII, Marquina's version features a visceral judeophobia amplified from the original work, which pushes a conspiracy narrative attributing the "711 loss of Spain" to a Jewish plot. The film's antisemitic sentiment is strongly displayed in sequences such as those involving the uprising of the Pamplona's jewry, and the imprisoning of Basque Christians.
