Synopsis
A priest discovers the path of
virtue can be steep, and temptation can demand a heavy price, in this
controversial drama from Mexico. Father Amaro (Gael Garcia Bernal) is a young
Catholic priest whose mentor, the Bishop (Ernesto Gomez Cruz), expects great
things from him. However, like all priests, Amaro must first be assigned
where he is needed most, which leads him to the small rural community of Los
Reyes, where Amaro is to assist Father Benito (Sancho Gracia). To his shock,
Amaro discovers Benito is hardly following Holy Law — he's having an affair
with Sanjuanera (Angelica Aragon), a woman who runs a local restaurant, and
he's been helping a drug dealer launder his profits in exchange for large
donations to the church, which Benito feels is justified as the funds are
being used to build a hospital and orphanage for the poor.
Amaro is disgusted with Benito's
actions, but he soon discovers his own weaknesses when he falls in love with
Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancon), Sanjuanera's teenage daughter. As Amelia finds
herself falling for Amaro, she breaks off her relationship with Ruben (Andres
Montiel), a reporter. Ruben responds by publishing a story which reveals the
details of Benito's dealings with the drug dealers; Benito in turn tries to
lay the blame at the feet of noble Father Natalio (Damian Alcazar), whose
work with local peasants has been wrongly interpreted as supporting armed
revolutionary factions. As Amaro tries desperately to distance himself from
the growing scandal, he receives shocking news from Amelia when he learns
she's pregnant with his child. The Crime of Father Amaro's portrayal of
corruption within the Catholic Church led to an outcry from Catholic
organizations, both in Mexico and the United States, where they attempted to
organize a boycott of the film. However, the tactic failed in Mexico, where
the controversy helped to boost ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing
Mexican film ever in its native country.
