Spanish dialogue, with optional English subtitles.
Summary:
Camino and her mother, father and sister are members of Opus Dei - the controversial Catholic organisation (founded by Spain's recently-canonised Jose Maria Escriva) that encourages 'personal prelature' - devoting oneself to God without taking holy orders or retreating from the outside world. Opening with a deathbed scene that will be reinterpreted when it appears again at the end, the film soon backtracks five months to follow the life of thirteen-year-old Camino (Camacho) - a bouncy girl whose happy, God-coddled life in Madrid pans out between her religious school and a home dominated by her pious but also creepily authoritarian mother Gloria.
