Suffering from the attack of rabies, she is believed to be possessed by demons and is locked away in a covenant. Priest Cayetano, age 37, is appointed to exorcise her. Soon a romantic relationship develops between this unlikely pair. The film adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s magical novel about forbidden love is infused with new life in the hands of the Costa Rican writer-director Hilda Hidalgo.
