La Celestina

Drama92 min

When young nobleman Calisto falls for Melibea, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, his servant Sempronio suggests bringing in the sorceress Celestina to help the romance along. Juan Diego Botto is Calisto, chasing an obsession that quickly draws in the people around him, while Penélope Cruz's Melibea remains at the center of the scheme. Terele Pávez gives Celestina a watchful, calculating presence as she inserts herself between desire and opportunity. But Calisto's other servant, Pármeno, knows Celestina's reputation and mistrusts the plan from the start, turning the courtship into a tangle of manipulation, class tension, and suspicion.
