Aura Pastora Méndez Suaza

Amparo, a submissive young woman, tries to escape from her strict convent school but falls into the hands of “El Animal,” a violent and abusive man who forces her to become his wife. Trapped by fear and constant mistreatment, she clings to her love for her daughter and her hope for a better life. However, her strength and dignity may not be enough to stand against the cruelty of the ruthless Animal.

Harassment, kidnapping, isolation, submission, hunger, humiliation, infidelity, psychological manipulation and incest are some of the themes that are the focus of this documentary based on true stories and the work of natural actors who suffered abuse and are marked by abandonment. Made during the filming of "La mujer del animal" by Victor Gaviria.
