Corpus Christi
El cuerpo de Cristo
Synopsis
Adela, a woman with an undiagnosed mental illness, seeks relief through folk rituals. Misunderstood by her family and a medical system that offers her only medication, she lives convinced that someone, or something, is watching her. At times, she feels its presence: it touches her, hurts her, and leaves her bedridden for days. Only religion seems to offer her a sympathetic ear, leading her to consult a healer and confess the disturbing origin of her suffering.
