Play.com Description:
With her award-winning feature-film debut La Ci''naga (The Swamp) writer-director Lucrecia Martel emerged as one of the brightest figures of the new Argentinean cinema. In her follow up the 2004 Cannes Film Festival Competition entry The Holy Girl (La Nina Santa) Martel intimately explores the burgeoning sexuality and religious fervor of two teenage girls Amalia (Maria Alche) and her best friend Josefina (Julieta Zylberberg). In the town of La Ci''naga Amalia lives with her attractive divorced mother Helena and her uncle Freddy in the crumbling run-down Hotel Termas which her family owns and runs. After choir rehearsals the girls gather in the parish church for further instruction in faith and vocation. In between the teachings the girls gossip and whisper secretively. The lives of the girls and their families intersect with those of a group of visiting orhinolaryngologists staying at the hotel for a medical convention including the married middle-aged Dr. Jano. One day a crowd of people gather in the street to watch a man play an unusual exotic instrument: a theremin. Amalia is in the crowd when a man standing behind her presses himself sexually against her. Later in the hotel she discovers that this man is Dr. Jano one of the doctors attending the conference. Amalia finds herself drawn to the Doctor and for days she spies on him. Dr. Jano never notices her presence but he does notice her mother Helena. Helena greatly enjoys the attention from this man but she has little hope as she knows he is married and has a family. Days afterward Amalia confides in Josefina what occurred in the street with Dr. Jano and of her secret mission: to save one man from sin. Dr. Jano becomes caught up in Amalia's web of good intentions and the respected doctor finds his world is on the brink of collapse when her adolescent obsession sets off a chain reaction of social catastrophe.
