Summary:
Don Lope is a Don Juan, an aging but still effective predator on the opposite sex. He is also charming and generous, unhesitatingly contributing the better part of his fortune to pay off a friend's debts, kindly assuming responsibility for the friend's orphaned daughter, lovely
Tristana
. Don Lope takes her into his house and before long he takes her to bed. It's an arrangement that
Tristana
accepts more or less unquestioningly - that is, until she meets the handsome young painter Horacio. Then she actively rebels, sets out to educate herself, reveals tremendous talents, and soon surpasses her lover in her open defiance of convention. One thing is for sure:
Tristana
will be her own woman. And when it counts, Don Lope will be there for her.
