Carmen Maura, the premiere leading lady of the Spanish screen, has a field day with her role of a runaway housewife who hears murderous voices in this riveting psychological thriller. A tired marriage, the lack of affection of an insensible and aggressive husband, no children and fanatical religious practices are the pillars that maintain the tormented life of Gregoria (Maura, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown). One day a housepainter drops dead at her doorstep, but before his fatal moments, he lifts Gregoria’s spirits with a new hope and destiny by telling her of an idyllic village. After changing her name and identity to Celia, she moves to this village to be the nanny to the son of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. But then one day, she encounters the same man who tells Celia that the house is haunted and she needs to save the child from his parents the way she saved herself from her husband! Will this tormented soul fall victim to her paranoia and unmask the true danger?
