The Penitent (1988) unfolds in a small, deeply Catholic Mexican village where tensions escalate among a trio: a possessive husband, his wife who is drawn to his friend, and the friend himself. As the community prepares for a potentially hazardous reenactment of the Crucifixion, the dynamics between these three characters become increasingly fraught, with jealousy and attraction fueling the conflict. The village's decision on who will portray Christ adds another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
