Of Love and Other Demons (film)

Of Love and Other Demons (Spanish: Del amor y otros demonios) is a 2009 internationally co-produced drama film directed by Hilda Hidalgo, who also wrote the screenplay.

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.

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.

PLOT: The story is situated in the 18th century in the time of Colonialism in Colombia and follows the central figure of Sievra Maria, a thirteen-year-old girl from an aristocratic white family.
