directed by: María Luisa Bemberg, year: 1984
actors: Susú Pecoraro

Camila O'Gorman, a young Argentine noblewoman, defies 19th century norms when she falls in love with a priest. Their clandestine romance tests family duty, religious authority, and aristocratic propriety across Buenos Aires and the countryside, and it ends in tragedy that shakes the nation. Maria Luisa Bemberg's restrained historical drama uses intimate performances and stark visuals to explore love, gender, power, and the costs of rebellion in a conservative era. The film's quiet intensity and historical textures amplify the emotional stakes of a forbidden love that challenged a rigid social order.
