BEATRIZ

While walking through the woods, young Juan witnesses a group of bandits attempting to rob and kill a friar, only for the priest to end up slaying several of his attackers. Seeking refuge in Juan’s home, the friar becomes an object of both lust and fear for the members of the family. But when a mysterious illness befalls Juan's sister Beatriz, suspicion begins to mount that the friar might be an agent of Satan. A cryptic tale of possession from Goya Award-winning arthouse filmmaker Gonzalo Suárez, BEATRIZ is a startlingly dark period drama dripping with gothic atmosphere.
