A morally complex drama of forbidden romance and manipulation, where a nobleman's pursuit of love through a sorceress's schemes sets in motion consequences neither party fully controls.

The young nobleman Calisto falls in love with Melibea, the daughter of a rich merchant. Calisto's servant Sempronio suggests they get the sorceress Celestina to further the romance. However Calisto's other servant Parmeno is suspicious of Celestina, as he knows about her tricks.
