“Ambrosio, the monk, draws
enormous crowds to his sermons, but in a city where superstition reigns with
such despotic sway as in Madrid, to seek for true devotion would be fruitless.
The gorgeous Madonna, the anxious novice and the reluctant nun understand more
of the real passions unveiled in a Gothic tale of disguise, abduction, incest
and murder.”
