“She is both temptation and salvation.”

Drama

Amalia is an adolescent girl who is caught in the throes of her emerging sexuality and her deeply held passion for her Catholic faith. These two drives mingle when the visiting Dr. Jano takes advantage of a crowd to get inappropriately close to the girl. Repulsed by him but inspired by an inner burning, Amalia decides it is her God-given mission to save the doctor from his behavior, and she begins to stalk Dr. Jano, becoming a most unusual voyeur.

VIBE

This film feels like a fever dream, a disquieting exploration of faith and burgeoning sexuality. It's an unsettling, introspective journey that lingers long after the credits roll, leaving you with a sense of profound unease.
