It centers on the historic conflict between artist Francisco De Goya and the Spanish Inquisition in its last years. Stellan Skarsgard will play the painter, who is considered one of the founders of what is called Modern Art; Natalie Portman will play Ines, his muse who is accused of heresy; and Javier Bardem will play Brother Lorenzo, a sinister ally of the Inquisition.
