No force in the world as the force of desire Yerma. Inspired by the play of Federico García Lorca.
Eva Stone is a woman with strong conservative beliefs. She is married to John, a British politician and a business man of Spanish origin, who is unable to have children. To Eva, a woman's life has no meaning if she is not a mother. A Spanish theater company is in London to perform Yerma, the play by Federico García Lorca. The Director, Victor is a friend of Eva and her husband from bygone times. A new passion is reborn between Eva and Victor and Eva has new opportunities to get pregnant. Eva's true drama is not so much that she can't have children but the impossibility, because of strict social conventions, that she can't have them out of wedlock. The real problem shown in the movie is the lack of freedoms and the imposed self-censorship in a standstill and full of conventions society.
Modernized version of Gracia Lorcas masterpiece, featuring Academy Award winner Miriam DiazAroca of La Belle Époque
The movie is a beautiful visual juxtaposition of the Andalusian culture of Lorcas play and the modern culture of London High Society.
The classic story has been transported into modern day London where the central character, the beautiful Eva, and her ambitious husband John have no children after 4 years of marriage. Although Eva is becoming increasingly obsessed with her inability to become a mother, she is also conflicted by the responsibility and honor she has to the institution of marriage.
The suspenseful and stunningly filmed thriller culminates in a shocking ending.
