Amalia (Maria Alche) lives with her divorced mother, the manager of a decaying hotel. When a stranger makes a crude pass at her in a crowded street, Amalia becomes consumed by the heady combination of her fervent religious education and burgeoning sexuality. Conjuring an incredibly impressive atmosphere, Martel brilliantly and absorbingly interrogates the nature of temptation and the dichotomy between good and evil.
