This Strange Passion

Él

Quiet-looking Francisco Galván de Montemayor—wealthy, conservative, religious, and a virgin—meets Gloria at the foot-washing ceremony on Holy Thursday. At a party at his mansion, he wins her over and later marries her. Starting on their wedding night, jealousy transforms him into an obsessive and paranoid man who sees only murder and mutilation as a solution to his madness.
