Holy Girl

She isboth temptation andsalvation.

Recognized around the world for her award-winning feature film, La Ciénaga, the highly anticipated Cannes Film Festival Competition entry The Holy Girl is the latest work from acclaimed writer-director Lucrecia Martel. The film is set in the crumbling Argentine Hotel Termas, where a medical convention is being hosted. It poignantly captures the lives of two teenage girls, Amalia, daughter to the owner of the hotel, and the girls best friend Josefina, as they adjust to their growing sexuality and religious passion.

After an encounter with the respected Dr. Jano, a physician attending the convention, Amalia confides in Josefina that she is going to deliver him from sin. After submitting to her wishes, Dr. Jano realizes that no matter how good the temptation, nothing is worth the evil it causes.
