En 1466, alors que l'Espagne est pleine Reconquista, une jeune princesse de 16 ans, Isabelle est promise au frère du marquis de Villena, Pedro Girón (es). Mais celui-ci meurt quelques instants avec le mariage. Trois ans plus tard, contre l'avis du roi Henri IV de Castille, elle épouse en secret Ferdinand d'Aragon : ils deviendront les Rois Catholiques. À la même époque, un jeune matelot, Christophe Colomb, s'intéresse aux récits de marins racontant l'existence d'une terre, Cathay, au-delà de l'Atlantique.

00:00America, let's cross the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Once upon a time, I was in the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:13From Cyprus to the Pacific, women began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Let us pursue their dreams of freedom.
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often it was the end of the heroes
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:46They all took up the torch, going further, going higher
00:53And their dream of their reality
01:00The Americas are here now, the Americas, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, the one we've all dreamed of one day.
01:13May they all walk hand in hand, to reach the end of their destiny.
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:37I would like to tell you the story of a stubborn man
01:40How, almost alone, he fought against the powerful
01:44So that a certain vision he had of things could triumph
01:47In the year 1466, a young Christophe, aged 15
01:51He is a cabin boy on a galleon sailing off the coast of Spain
02:05Hey boss, come have a drink here
02:09And you there, at work
02:12The same year, a 16-year-old princess
02:15Isabelle, pulled from her power
02:17He arrives at the Spanish court in Madrid.
02:19Where his brother Henry IV of Castile reigned
02:21The same year, a 16-year-old princess
02:53Welcome, let me introduce you to my friends
02:55My noble ally, the Marquis of Vilena
02:58And his brother, your future husband
03:02You've probably already understood that.
03:04Isabelle's world, raised in poverty and piety
03:07And that of his brother, a debauched king
03:09They were not the same
03:13But what will happen to this poor princess?
03:15Don't worry, fate will have a sweet revenge in store for him.
03:18Sometimes, chance works in our favor.
03:20As Vilena was on her way to the wedding ceremony
03:32But he's dead?
03:34Yes, he was dead.
03:35An accident-prone person, right?
03:37Oh, not for everyone
03:38And after all, who knows?
03:39Two years later, here we are again
03:41Isabelle is taken from the convent of Segovia
03:43Where we had forgotten it
03:52I have sad news, noble sister
03:56God our Lord has just called him back to himself
03:59Our beloved brother Alphonse
04:00So here you are, heir to the throne
04:02And reasons of state dictate that you be married without delay.
04:06You need to think about it.
04:08And which suitors would you recommend?
04:11And let's pretend, well, let's see, let's think about it a little
04:13There's your cousin, of course.
04:15The young Ferdinand of Aragon
04:17But above all, there is Charles, the brother of the King of France.
04:19This is a beautiful and good alliance.
04:21So listen carefully, my dear child, to your confessor.
04:23It's not about marrying just anyone
04:25I'm happy to follow your advice.
04:27Brother Pérez, get well informed
04:28And come back and tell me everything about these princes.
04:30Prince Charles is as sad as a day without bread
04:32And thin, so that when he walks
04:34His bones clattered together
04:35But your noble cousin from Aragon, what a handsome man!
04:37Look
04:39Don't you find it graceful?
04:40And with that, in a good way
04:42He's the husband you need
04:44We decided that he is the brother of the King of France
04:46That you will marry
04:47Sir, that's out of the question.
04:48It is Ferdinand of Aragon whom I will marry
04:50The reason for being a will, my dear child
04:51Whether you marry Charles of France, the king's brother
04:54No
04:55Forgive me, sir
04:56My reason dictates that I marry
04:57Which suits me
04:58And that's what I will do
04:59So
05:00Little cheeky girl
05:01That's out of the question.
05:02You never hear
05:07Eh ?
05:09Your Grace, Princess Isabelle is nowhere to be found.
05:11She escaped
05:12Let's catch her, let's arrest her, let's imprison her
05:35Let him be imprisoned
05:56In October 1469, in Valladolid
05:59The Archbishop of Toledo will therefore unite Isabella and Ferdinand of Aragon
06:02A bright future awaits them
06:05Of course, the King of France is furious.
06:08Villéna is furious
06:09The King of Spain is furious
06:10But anger is a bad advisor.
06:13Villéna is going to die
06:15And Henry of Spain will do the same
06:19In 1474, Isabelle, 23 years old
06:21Ferdinand, 22 years old
06:22Ascend the throne of Spain
06:23This will be the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.
06:28Okay, but...
06:30What became of young Christophe?
06:32Don't be so impatient, young man
06:34I'm going to tell you
06:35Of course, our young friend has grown up too.
06:37And one day, off the coast of Portugal
06:40Not far from Lisbon
06:47His ship is attacked by a French squadron
07:14Our Christophe is showing courage
07:16And realism
07:19And realism
07:48Felipa, hey, Felipa
07:49Felipa, oh, Felipa
07:52Yes, a great navigator, my father.
07:54When he discovered this island
07:56He was appointed governor
07:57It was peaceful
07:59But one day...
08:02My father had the good idea of bringing a pair of rabbits there.
08:24She has changed our island a lot now
08:27It was my brother who became the governor
08:30My little Diego
08:38The young colonist immerses himself in studies
08:41He gathers clues that leave him pondering.
08:43What is this?
08:50And one day, I picked up a piece of wood
08:52A kind of totem face, I don't know.
08:54It wasn't carved with a blade, it was more raw.
09:00And with the winds, it could only have come from that direction.
09:03From there, from the west
09:04It was a beautiful piece
09:05She was very tall at least, like that
09:09Martin Vincent, you are here to steer the ship
09:11Not to talk, take back the helm and quickly
09:30Come and see, Philippa, what I received
09:32This is the card that Toscanelli was kind enough to send me.
09:34Like me, he thinks it's no more than 4000 kilometers.
09:37Between Lisbon and Sipango, Asia
09:41He thinks there's a lot of gold there.
09:44Lots of spices and souls to convert
09:47Stop, my dear Christophe
09:49I'll bring you a browser
09:50And I think you'll find this man's report very interesting.
09:53We were supposed to go to Flanders
09:56Unfortunately, a storm pushed us westward.
09:58We no longer knew where we were.
10:03One day, the wind dies down
10:05And here we are, near an island.
10:06And there, on the shore
10:09Strange people, not like us
10:11Those who are watching us, making signs to us
10:13Nevertheless, you understand
10:14We preferred to take a different direction
10:16That was more reasonable
10:18But there are surely other people to get to know
10:20And new lands to discover
10:22A new continent, perhaps
10:24Alonso from Huelva is right
10:25We have to go there
10:27It is absolutely necessary
10:28I will find a way
10:32A new monarch, John, sits in Portugal
10:34And before his court, our friend Columbus
10:36He lays out his plans, his certainties
10:40But we've already seen this document.
10:42Oskanelli submitted this map to us.
10:46Yes, Oskanelli
10:47This little doctor from Florence
10:48More versed in science
10:50That in navigation
10:53Let's see anyway
10:54If we could not take advantage of this document
10:56To facilitate the westward movement of our ships
10:58But Sir Colón, tell us
11:00What would your conditions be?
11:01If you were tasked with an expedition
11:03Towards these unknown lands?
11:04So, young man
11:05Tell us, what would your conditions be?
11:07The title of Admiral of the Oceans
11:09The viceroyalty
11:10The government of the discovered lands
11:12And the tenth of the catches
11:14Oh yes, that too.
11:15Golden spurs
11:21But what impertinence, what audacity!
11:23It's small, huge, isn't it?
11:25So, Dad, what did they tell you?
11:27Well, they laughed.
11:28Ah, if you only knew how much they laughed at me!
11:33Sleep, my little Diego
11:39We still have a long way to go to reach the Spanish court.
11:53We need to go to Cordoba
11:55My brother, be good
11:56I only ask for a little bread and water for my son.
11:58You might as well spend the night here
12:00The region is not safe
12:02And besides, our reverend fathers will surely be very interested in your story
12:06Stay, your story will fascinate them.
12:10We too are familiar with Cardinal Dehi's imagomundi
12:13Of which you are the enthusiastic interpreter
12:15And Aristotle, author of the great treatises
12:17Lucius Seneca and the physicist Poseidonius
12:20Who are indeed noble forerunners
12:23But I would very much like to know what our learned father of the Marchena thinks about it.
12:27It is quite possible that large inhabited lands exist to the west.
12:30And even if the knowledge of our bubbly friend
12:34seem questionable to me
12:35Let's note that he possesses enthusiasm.
12:38And above all, the host has his essentials for success
12:41And for that, Reverend Father Péresse, we must help him
12:49Oh !
12:50Good news!
12:52Christophe, my friend from Talavera, an eminent figure at court
12:55Informs me by this letter that the queen
12:58He agrees to meet me in Cordoba
13:00God bless you
13:02Goodbye, Dad
13:04Sixty places
13:05A week's walk separates
13:08Where she goes from Cordoba
13:16No !
13:18Ah! Ah! No!
13:21Oh !
13:24Ah! Oh!
13:29Oh! Oh!
13:38A thousand thanks to you foreigners, you saved our lives
13:41You have my deepest gratitude.
13:43My name is Pedro de Arrénia
13:44And this young girl, Malfra, you kidnap them
13:46This is Beatrice, my younger sister
13:48May we know your name?
13:50Columbus, Christopher Columbus
13:53And discover new lands
13:55There is gold and precious stones there.
13:57All these riches that are still unknown to everyone
13:59You came to see the queen
14:01But you didn't know that the entire court left Cordoba.
14:04To spend the winter in Madrid
14:05They will not return until spring
14:07You should write to Their Majesty
14:09And wait here with us for spring to return
14:25Yes yes
14:31Lord Columbus
14:36Beatrice, Pedro, I have the answer
14:37Their majesty will receive me
14:39And if you would be so kind as to accept my request
14:52I will thank you for it, Your Majesty.
14:55Their majesty will always have something to beg for
15:05Cardinal, isn't that Lord Columbus approaching?
15:08You are Christopher Columbus, I presume
15:10And recommended by the archbishop
15:11Well, I promise you, Mr. Talavera
15:13We will listen very carefully to your protégé.
15:18Your Majesty, allow me to show you this map
15:21My knowledge, my experiences
15:23They demonstrate that it is possible to travel to Cathay
15:25And at the court of China
15:26Much faster from the west than from the east
15:28It belongs to the gracious Catholic majesties
15:30To re-establish contact with the Asian emperor
15:32And to forge an alliance with him
15:34That would make a formidable pasta confederation
15:40Our Muslim adversaries would be swept aside.
15:42And then there are all those millions of souls to be won for the church of Christ.
15:46Not to mention all the riches, gold and diamonds that Marco Polo already spoke of.
15:52Tell me, how do you know about the existence of these lands in Oceania?
15:55You talk about it as if you'd been there.
15:57Your Excellency, I have been studying this matter for many years.
16:00And everything confirms this for me.
16:01My boy, what would you ask of their majesty?
16:03We share your discoveries
16:09The dignity of admiral, the viceroyalty, and the government of the islands
16:12And of all the lands discovered
16:14I also claim a tenth part of the goods and riches found.
16:22Thus spoke Colom
16:23So, what did the kings say?
16:25He was swollen, that colom
16:27I think he was absolutely right.
16:29I agree with you, kids, I also think it's outrageous.
16:32And above all, he was playing for high stakes.
16:33The king decided to submit the plan of Colom to a commission
16:36Because he had many other worries on his mind.
16:39He dreamed of the reconquest of Granada
16:41But first, Malaga had to be taken back.
16:43The city was surrounded.
16:45And we waited patiently for her to surrender.
16:58You must maintain your positions
17:08And our friend will be passed from committee to committee.
17:19And that was the fall of Malaga
17:29But in the end, noble sir, all these summonses, we're going around in circles
17:34While fabulous riches await us
17:36And if they really exist, what proves to us that these lands belong to no one?
17:41There is no evidence to support this.
17:42But I've given you my reasons more than ten times.
17:47Your project does not have a solid enough foundation for Spain to stake its reputation and the lives of
17:51its subjects
17:52Your plan is rejected
17:58So, let's go to France
17:59There is a king there who is said to be intelligent.
18:01There are only idiots and donkeys here, yes
18:03As I bring them the world and its treasures
18:05And that's how I'm treated
18:07Calm down, my young friend
18:08I will personally see the Queen and plead your case.
18:11After all, I've always been his confidant.
18:13Above all, wait until I come back, promise me.
18:22Have a good trip, Father Pérez
18:25I've never seen my father so furious and shout so loudly
18:27He had never been so angry
18:29Do you think it would be possible for me to go with him on the big trip?
18:34Come on, come on, quicker, faster!
18:36There's not a moment to lose
18:37Quickly, quickly, there's not a moment to lose.
18:40Quickly, the sovereigns are waiting for you.
18:42Hurry, they're leaving Cordoba for Granada
18:48Hurry, there's not a moment to lose
19:15Hurry, they're about to leave
19:36You there, come and see
19:41Hurry, they're about to leave
20:20This is an offense that must be avenged. You will come with me tonight.
20:53The queen is in danger. Let's protect her.
20:55I'm going that way with my men.
21:10Here we go.
21:52Long live Spain! Long live their majesty!
21:56This expedition will be perilous.
21:57In the center of this ocean where you want to go,
22:00You will find some hot spots
22:02which set the sea boiling
22:03and this, to counterbalance the frozen lands of the Far North.
22:06What do you hope to achieve with this expedition?
22:08While Nicholas of Lira and Saint Augustine himself
22:11tell us that the antipodes
22:13cannot be inhabited
22:15How could it be?
22:16People would have to live upside down there, that's absurd.
22:19Lira and Saint Augustine were great theologians
22:21thanks to their evenings.
22:23But they were certainly not cosmographers.
22:25because the Portuguese ships that sail
22:27distant seas upside down
22:29demonstrated every day that their opinions
22:31were completely unfounded.
22:36Continue.
22:37Absurd, I heard earlier?
22:38But that would be absurd,
22:39You will agree, I'm sure,
22:41that is, after having created the world,
22:42Our Lord may have left most of it useless.
22:45empty of men.
22:45And if it isn't, which I believe it isn't,
22:47It belongs to all of you.
22:48and to our Catholic majesties
22:49to help bring the gospel there.
22:52And if we agree on the project,
22:54What reward would you like?
22:56Always the same, Your Eminence.
22:57First, the dignity of admiral,
22:59the viceroyalty,
23:00then the government of the discovered lands
23:02and to be discovered.
23:02And also one-tenth of the goods and wealth
23:04which will be found.
23:05Silence is good.
23:08The committee will consider the matter and make a decision.
23:16And Granada in turn falls.
23:38For all of you
23:40who wish to remain in Granada,
23:41They will be able to do it.
23:42The mosques will remain open
23:44and the worship assured.
23:45They will keep their property
23:46and will be free to pursue their occupations.
23:48As for your august waxes,
23:49our magnanimous Catholic majesties
23:50have decided to leave you a land
23:52in the Alpajouras
23:53where you can at your leisure
23:54continue your activities.
24:07Preur, my son,
24:08like a woman on the kingdom
24:09that you don't have to defend yourself
24:10like a man.
24:35But finally, step aside.
24:37Who do you think I am?
24:38Let me in,
24:39Let me through.
24:41So, things are still not going well for him?
24:43Even less than he thinks.
24:45Our young friend had the decision
24:47commission in hand.
24:48Nothing about it was particularly good.
24:50So, when is he going to find out?
24:52America?
24:54You'll see what you'll see.
24:56Let's not lose heart.
24:58Our friend Zorro is coming.
25:01So, my friend,
25:03Is something wrong?
25:06We regret to inform you
25:09that your request cannot be accepted.
25:11Signed Pérez Almazone.
25:13Pérez Almazone, Pérez Almazone.
25:14The old guard, the old mule.
25:16He'll be hearing from me soon.
25:18Courage, Cristobal.
25:19I'm taking charge of this.
25:20Oh, but we'll see what we'll see.
25:22What's the point, my good friend?
25:23I assure you, I've had enough.
25:24Quite enough.
25:25I'm getting tired.
25:26It's decided.
25:26I'm leaving.
25:30It's our turn now.
25:43Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you whose resolute spirit I have always admired,
25:45Now you're missing out.
25:47But how can you allow obscurantism,
25:50the machinations, getting the better of my colonial friend,
25:52while it is a fantastic undertaking
25:54where there are few risks and so many potential profits for the crown,
25:58For the glory of our Lord and our Church,
26:01of our country.
26:01Forgive my boldness, but Your Majesty, I no longer recognize you.
26:04As a financier and royal advisor,
26:06Allow me, Your Majesty, to speak.
26:09Your Majesty, it would be a great shame
26:11that some other kingdom might benefit from these discoveries
26:13if they take place.
26:14If you wish,
26:15I could advance the necessary funds to the company.
26:28Alright, it's my turn, out of the arena.
26:49You have won, my friend.
26:51We agree, we accept these conditions.
27:00Can we trust him?
27:02No, I'm responsible for that.
27:05This young man can be trusted.
27:07Juan de Colonna, please take note.
27:10Establish the agreed contract,
27:11the dignity of admiral, the viceroyalty,
27:13the islands' government,
27:15discovered lands
27:16and those that remain to be discovered.
27:18We clearly stated that they remain to be discovered.
