The Animal's Wife
Her prison is fear
Directed by Víctor Gaviria
Produced by Polo A Tierra, Viga Producciones
A harrowing portrait of domestic captivity and abuse, centered on one woman's struggle to preserve her humanity and maternal bond against systematic cruelty.
Amparo, a submissive young woman, tries to escape from her strict convent school but falls into the hands of “El Animal,” a violent and abusive man who forces her to become his wife. Trapped by fear and constant mistreatment, she clings to her love for her daughter and her hope for a better life. However, her strength and dignity may not be enough to stand against the cruelty of the ruthless Animal.
