Francisco de Vitoria and Domingo de Soto, both Dominican friars and professors at the University of Salamanca, coincided in 1528 delivering a joint lecture (relección) in which they reflected and engaged in a heated debate about human dignity, freedom, and justice in the conquest of America and the treatment to be given to the indigenous people who live there.
In an adjoining garden, behind some columns, Beatriz Galindo "la latina", the abbess of the Convent of Santa María and the novice, Sister Isabel, try to follow the relección, "in these times of the Lord, when it is not well received for ladies to dedicate themselves to endeavors other than those imposed by fathers and husbands".
