Emilio Ruiz Barrachina continues his exploration of Federico García Lorca’s work with this modern day adaptation of The House of Bernarda Alba starring Assumpta Serna and Victoria Abril. Bernarda (Serna) runs a brothel from a factory. She has just acquired five women who were kidnapped and sold into sex slavery; she believes that by keeping these women here she is redeeming them and freeing them from the evils of the world. Bernarda also keeps her sister María Josefa prisoner while maintaining a strange relationship with her maid Poncia. (Chicago Latino Film Festival)
