Synopsis Once upon a time... A Native American named Pocahontas who belonged to the Powhatan tribe, in Virginia, on the North American Continent. Pocahontas was a very sweet girl, but very independent and rebellious, a real headache for her father, Chief Powhatan. In the indigenous tribe and throughout the Continent, troubled times are being experienced, due to the invasion of English settlers, who were taking over the Powhatan lands. One day, several settlers were captured by the natives and the Great Chief Powhatan sentenced them to death. They would be executed the following moon. At the exact moment of the execution, Pocahontas interrupts the ceremony and begs her father not to commit the barbarity, according to her, violence would only generate more hatred and more violence. Chief Powhatan granted his daughter's request. Among the settlers sentenced to capital punishment was John Smith who, after seeing his life spared, swears eternal friendship to the natives and, especially to Pocahontas. From this friendship will arise an intense love story, which will clash with racial prejudice between two peoples with different motivations.
