Nazarín (Spanish pronunciation: [nasaˈɾin], [naθaˈɾin]) is a 1959 Mexican satirical drama film directed by Luis Buñuel and co-written between Buñuel and Julio Alejandro, adapted from the eponymous novel of Benito Pérez Galdós.

[4] Padre Nazario, a priest living in a hostel, is quiet, temperate and distributes his money, even indifferent to being burgled.

He shows understanding and compassion to such as Beatriz, who has psychotic episodes and suicidal thoughts after being abandoned by her lover, Pinto.

Meanwhile, the hostel proprietress finds out and insists Andara must not be discovered with Nazario, ordering her to remove evidence of her stay.

With Nazario afoul of the law and church, he is warned an investigation could cost him his priesthood.

Meeting a construction crew, Nazario offers to work for food, but other workers resent him undercutting them.

She leads him to Andara, who lives with her, and a sick girl whose mother begs Nazario to cure with a miracle.

Beatrice's ex Pinto, visiting, sees her, accuses her of being "a priest's lover" and demands that she leave with him.

Beatriz tells Nazario she trusts him, and quotes from the Bible: "If I can carry your load on my back, I will."

Discovered by a search party, Andara and Nazario are arrested: Beatriz begs for his release.

Nazario suffers a crisis of faith, shouting, "For the first time in my life, I find it hard to forgive.

Nazario passes a fruit seller who offers a pineapple, saying, "Take this charity, and may God be with you."
