In the kingdom of Berbania, noble monarch Don Fernando and queen Doña Valeriana had three children: Don Pedro, the eldest; Don Diego, the second; and Don Juan, the youngest, who held a special place in his father's heart
The king presented his sons with a choice: to embrace the priestly path or bear the weight of the royal crown
The king's distress over a troubling dream about his youngest son, Don Juan, led him to seek a cure from the Adarna bird, residing on the sacred mountain, Tabor
Don Pedro, the eldest son, embarked on a quest to find the Adarna bird but turned into stone after falling asleep under the Piedras Platas tree
Don Diego, the second son, also turned to stone by the Adarna bird after hearing its enchanting songs, continuing the family's tragic fate
Don Juan, the youngest prince, with only five loaves of bread, embarked on a journey guided by faith to find the Adarna bird and cure his father's illness
