Viridiana is preparing to start her life as a nun when she is sent, somewhat unwillingly, to visit her aging uncle, Don Jaime. He supports her; but the two have met only once. Jaime thinks Viridiana resembles his dead wife. Viridiana has secretly despised this man all her life and finds her worst fears proven when Jaime grows determined to seduce his pure niece. Viridiana becomes undone as her uncle upends the plans she had made to join the convent.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic deconstruction of religious purity and familial obligation, where a young novice's carefully ordered world collapses under the weight of her uncle's transgressive desire. Buñuel finds dark comedy in the collision between innocence and depravity, creating a deeply discomfiting portrait of faith shattered.
