Camila O'Gorman (Susú Pecoraro) is the daughter of an influential 19th century Argentine diplomat (Héctor Alterio). Ladislao Gutierez (Imanol Arias) is a Jesuit priest, also living in Argentina. Tortured by her so-called impure thoughts, Camila confesses these to Gutierez. Flouting tradition, convention, and the repressive Rosas political regime, Camila and the priest embark on a torrid affair -- which ends when the lovers, captured after a 500-mile chase, are condemned without a trial and die before a firing squad. Based on a true story, the Spanish/Argentine co-production was co-written and directed by María Luisa Bemberg. (GEA, Impala/European Classics, 1985) (Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide)
