Synopsis
When government troops march into Barcelona at the beginning of Spain’s civil war in 1936, devout young nun Maria (Ariadna Gil) is forced to leave her convent and take shelter in, of all places, a bordello. But the arrival of a fiery idealist named Pilar (Ana Belén) — who’s recruiting women for a splinter group dedicated to anarchy — soon turns Maria’s world upside down in this epic drama from director Vincente Aranda.
Director
Vicente Aranda
Vicente Aranda (born on 9 November 1926 in Barcelona), is a Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer.
Due to his refined and personal style, he is one of the most renowned Spanish filmmakers. He started as a founded member of the Barcelona School of Film and became known for bringing contemporary Spanish novels to life on the big screen. Aranda is famous for exploring difficult social issues and variations on the theme of desire that employs the codes of melodrama.
Love as uncontrollable passion, eroticism and cruelty are constant themes in his filmography. The frank examination of sexuality is one of the trademarks of his work as can be seen in his most internationally successful film: Amantes (1990) (Lovers). —Wikipedia
