About the film
Told through intimate narrative using visual language reminiscent of Renaissance paintings, Of love and Other Demons is based on the Gabriel García Márquez novel of the same name that won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. It is a harrowing love story based on a Colombian legend set in the time of slavery and the Inquisition.
The central character, Sierva María, is the daughter of aristocrats in colonial Cartagena de Indias and is raised by their African slaves. When she is 13 years old she wants to know what kisses taste like. But when a rabid dog bites her the bishop declares that she is possessed and entrusts his pupil, Cayetano, with her exorcism. Sierva and Cayetano find themselves seduced by a demon more powerful than faith and reason.
