Original title: Cel meu, infern teu (Catalan language)
Adela and Victoria share a forbidden love in 1960s-70s Spain, facing harsh punishment from both law and society. Despite every obstacle keeping them apart, their connection proves impossible to forget.
Hot Spanish lesbians!
But not in context. It’s actually a sad film, although it has an unlikely happy ending that comes out of nowhere, lasts only a few seconds, and seems to be tacked on.
The women in the film love each other, but Franco’s Spain was just not a good time for girl-on-girl action. Spanish society was repressive in the 1960s and 70s. The elderly Fascist dictator still held on to the reins of state, the Catholic Church was just as influential and conservative as the government, and those two powerful forces were in cahoots to enforce strict censorship. In this context, the local priest thinks the lovers are possessed by Satan. The doctors think they are mentally ill. The one woman’s husband wants to kill them. The man who loves the other women knows he can never be with her.
