Overview

In 1950s Lima, a Catholic girls' boarding school clings to a cliff above the Pacific Ocean. Ana, 16, pursues holiness obsessively, secretly mortifying her body. When Rebecca, a rebellious foreigner, arrives at the school, Ana’s leadership starts to crack. As fascination turns into jealousy and desire clashes with faith, discipline takes on a dangerous charge.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A psychologically taut study of religious fervor and repressed desire set in an isolated boarding school, where two girls' collision sets off currents of jealousy, fascination, and mounting danger. The film builds dread through atmosphere and internal conflict rather than external action.
