Plot
The story takes place sometime during the colonial period in Colombia, in a time of extreme religious intolerance (thanks to the Holy Inquisition) and slavery.
In that dark setting, a 13-year-old Spanish aristocratic girl named Sierva Maria (Eliza Triana) wants to know what kisses taste like. She is the daughter of wealthy marquises but was raised by African slaves who were taken to Cartagena de Indias.
When a rabid dog bites her, the bishop (Jordi Dauder) believes her to be possessed and orders Cayetano Delaura (Pablo Derqui), his ecclesiastical disciple, to lock her up in the convent and exorcise her. The vicar and the girl will be seduced by a demon more powerful than faith and reason, which makes them maintain a love affair hidden from everyone, which culminates in a tragic outcome.
