This is the story of Juana of Castile given in an arranged marriage. She soon not only falls in love with her husband but becomes madly obsessive about him.
I thought it was a very good movie. I was fascinated with Pilar Lopez de Ayala's performance. She was so obsessed with her husband that one has to question whether her feelings really were ones of love. (Abusive or distorted relationships cannot be considered love in the strict sense, but something else, such as obsession or madness.) Patrick L. Cooney.
