Story
The movie 'Los Borgia' (2006) directed by Antonio Hernández presents a historical portrait of the notorious Borgia family, who rose to power in the Renaissance era. The story focuses on three key figures: Rodrigo Borgia, who becomes Pope Alexander VI; his son Cesare Borgia; and Lucrezia Borgia, his daughter renowned for her intelligence and alleged promiscuity.
Rodrigo uses his influence as pope to secure powerful positions for his children. Cesare, initially a cardinal, is appointed as the Duke of Valentinois by King Louis XII of France. He becomes a model for Machiavelli's 'The Prince' due to his ruthless political maneuvers.
Lucrezia, known for her beauty and wit, marries several times, each union arranged strategically by her father to maintain political alliances. The family's greed, ambition, and disregard for morality lead them down a path of scandal, betrayal, and ultimately, their downfall.
