Spoilers ahead
In memory of Camila O’Gorman and Ladislao Gutiérrez.
In 1827, Ana Perichon de O’Gorman is kept under house arrest in the sprawling hacienda that belongs to her estranged son, Adolfo O’Gorman [Héctor Alterio]. He treats her with thinly veiled contempt, a tension that shadows the uneasy family history. Camila, the grandmother’s beloved granddaughter, arrives as a baby who barely knows her, and even as a child she resists the idea that love can be simply coaxed by duty or appearance. When Ana asks Camila if she enjoys love stories, the girl honestly confesses that she does not know any, a line that hints at a life she has yet to fully imagine.
