Abandoned at birth at the gates of a Capuchin monastery in Madrid, Brother Ambrosio (Cassel), raised by the friars, grows up into a preacher admired far and wide for his fervor. Ambrosio is feared for his righteousness and believes he is immune from temptation - until the arrival of a mysterious apprentice undermines his convictions and leads him down a dangerous path of sin, corruption and murder.

REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..ultimately lacks any real emotional substance thanks to an abridged script that strips out both the novel's complexity and its more outlandish excesses..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..utterly eschews the excesses of Hammer, The Devils and nunsploitation..”
by Anton Bitel [MovieScope]
“..the photography and design are high points, with a night-time religious procession that is very freaky indeed..”
by Dave Calhoun [Time Out London]
