Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Set amidst the austere volcanic splendor of
Spain's island of Lanzarote, this period piece successfully vacillates between
drama and high tragedy as it follows the romantic obsession felt by two very
different men for an innocent but seductive local girl. The tale is set in a
ramshackle island village during the Spanish Civil War. No sooner does young,
conservative, and high-moraled Dr. Fermin (Carmelo
Gomez) arrive at the pueblo than he is under in Mararia's (Goya
Toledo) bewitching spell. She is interested in him too, and they briefly
flirt. Freewheeling, roguish English surveyor Bertrand (Ian
Glen) has also come to town on a job for the Royal Geographic Society. He
too is enchanted by Mararia, and they become lovers. When Mararia becomes
pregnant with Beretrand's child, the stage is set for tragedy.
