The Holy Girl (2004)

Sixteen-year-old Amalia begins to question her religious beliefs and her sacred plan. When Dr. Jano gives a lecture at her mother's hotel and harasses her, she senses a divine mission driven by her Christian vocation and, in the midst of an initiation into her own desire, seeks to save the man who revealed her sexuality. In this second feature from acclaimed director Lucrecia Martel, Amalia explores the dynamics of youth through an examination of mysticism and eroticism, exploring rites of passage in a surprising coming-of-age.
