Crime Do Padre Amaro Filme Top !exclusive! -

One reason the "top" status holds up is the clever modernization. In Eça de Queirós’ 19th-century novel, the crime is the secret affair and the subsequent abandonment of the child (who dies in a convent). In the 2002 film, the crime is escalated to include a direct hand in an abortion.

Father Amaro (Gael García Bernal) is a young, idealistic priest sent to a small Mexican parish. There, he meets the beautiful and devout Amelia (Ana Claudia Talancón). Despite his vows of celibacy, Amaro begins a passionate affair with her. The "crime" is not just the breaking of his vows, but the series of moral compromises, lies, and ultimately a tragedy: Amelia becomes pregnant, and after a botched back-alley abortion arranged by an older priest (who is also Amelia’s mother’s lover), Amelia dies. Amaro, hiding his role, is praised by the Church and transferred to a better parish. crime do padre amaro filme top
