Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Camila O'Gorman (Susan
Peccaro) is the daughter of an influential 19th century Argentine diplomat
(Hector 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
Camila was
honored with a "best foreign film" Oscar nomination.
