The Bridge of San Luis Rey
Five lives bound by one fate.
Directed by Mary McGuckian
Produced by Tribeca Productions, Pembridge Pictures
A meditative period drama that weaves together five lives intersected by tragedy, using a theological crisis to explore fate, divine purpose, and human connection across class and circumstance.
In 1714 Peru, a friar is tried by the Spanish Inquisition for questioning God's intentions when five die in the collapse of an Andean rope bridge.
