Director/co-writer Lucrecia Martel (La Ciénaga) explores the burgeoning sexuality and religious fervor of two teenage girls in Argentina: Amalia (María Alché) and her best friend Josefina (Julieta Zylberberg). The girls and their families intersect with a group of visiting doctors staying at the run-down hotel operated by Amalia's family. Amalia finds herself drawn to a married doctor (Carlos Belloso) who makes sexual advances towards her, and she later decides to save him from sin. The respected doctor finds his world on the brink of collapse when her adolescent obsession sets off a chain reaction of social catastrophe. (Fully subtitled)
