Juana la Loca era una persona que padecía una locura emocional. La película cuenta cómo el matrimonio fue fruto de una alianza pactada entre el Emperador Maximiliano y los Reyes Católicos, y su asunción del reino de Castilla y de la Corona de Aragón, que desembocará en una lucha política entre los nobles españoles y flamencos.
