The film was divided into three episodes set in different eras. The first featured scenes from the life of Saint Rose of Lima, “evoked by a lovely young lady from Lima, whose name we will keep secret.” These were recreations of the saint's life in the style of tableaux vivants. The second episode included documentary footage of a pilgrimage to the town of Santa Rosa de Quives, “with the presence of the Most Illustrious Archbishop of Lima on screen.” The third and final segment featured images filmed at the Quinta de Presa. These scenes depicted colonial festivities, with a profusion of figures in period costumes.
