In Madrid at the time of the Inquisition, the monk Ambrosio is renowned for his faith and his strength of will, a saint in the eyes of the populace. But when he discovers the beautiful Matilda hidden in his own monastery, all his repressed passions begin to show themselves, and he is soon using the girl, and her powers, in his lust for more innocent prey.

The Monk

Carlos Álvarez, a detective deeply attached to some old fashioned codes of behavior, receives a routine commission: He has to watch a businessman's wife. The obvious infidelities become more complicated with a death into play: the businessman's daughter, a young girl with loads of charms and no scruples, the family lawyer and the millionaire partner with overtly illegal business affairs. Carlos becomes the target for attacks, shot-outs and police interrogations, while he tries to solve the death of his client and close the case for which he has only received half the payment. Carlos is a born survivor and he moves with ease through the turbulent waters of an affair that becomes more and more complicated by the minute. The crucial twist comes when Gloria, an old flame, bursts onto the scene.
