El Crimen del Padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro)

2002, Carlos Carrera, 118 minutes

Recently ordained as priest, 24-year-old Father Amaro is sent to a small parish church in Los Reyes, Mexico, to assist the aging Father Benito in his daily work. Benito—for years a fixture in the church, as well as the community—welcomes Father Amaro into a new life of unseen challenges. Upon arriving in Los Reyes, the ambitious Father Amaro meets Amelia, a beautiful 16-year-old girl whose religious devotion soon becomes helplessly entangled in a growing attraction to the new priest.
