Doña Ana is real, Don Octavio.
:56:12
Want to hear about her?
:56:14
I suppose so.
:56:19
Shortly after
the death of my father...
:56:22
my mother decided that it would be
the best to send me to Cadiz...
:56:26
as though a voyage at sea
would purify me.
:56:30
She herself had determined
to take her vows...
:56:33
at the convent of Santa Maria,
where she is a nun to this day.
:56:38
I was being sent forth...
:56:40
Like a dove of promise.
:56:43
What my mother never knew
was the ship...
:56:46
was run by scoundrels.
:56:49
Instead of Cadiz...
:56:51
they set sail...
:56:53
for an obscure
Arabian Sultanate,
:56:56
where the passengers were
immediately sold into slavery.
:57:01
You were sold
into slavery in a ...
:57:03
-sultan's kingdom?
-That's correct.
:57:07
I was purchased...
:57:08
by 1 of 4 wives of a sultan
:57:10
and led off by her eunuch.
:57:28
I had no idea why i was made
to dress as a female.
:57:32
My mask was replaced
by a mask of another sort...
:57:36
so i supposed i was still keeping
the vow l made to hide my face.
:57:42
The Sultan had a harem...
:57:43
of fifteen hundred young women...
:57:46
so his demands on his wives
were relatively minor.
