AN OFFICIAL COCKTAILS & CINEMA™ EVENT
In 1575, Miguel de Cervantes—the future author of Don Quixote—is wounded in naval battle and taken captive by corsairs, imprisoned in Algiers under the watch of the formidable Bey Hasan. Amid fear, uncertainty, and the struggle for survival, Cervantes turns to storytelling, weaving tales that inspire his fellow prisoners and spark an unexpected intimacy with his captor. What begins as a test of wills slowly reveals a complex bond—tinged with desire, fascination, and power—that reshapes them both. The Captive is a sweeping historical drama exploring resilience, freedom, and the dangerous, transformative pull of human connection.
