Yerma

The movie is a beautiful visual contrast between the Andalusian culture of Lorcas play and the modern culture of London High Society. The classic story has been transported into modern day London where the central character, Eva, and her ambitious husband John have no children after 4 years of marriage. Although Eva is increasingly obsessed with her inability to become a mother, she is also conflicted by the responsibility she has to the institution of marriage. This suspenseful thriller culminates in a shocking ending. Created in memory of Spanish poet/ playwright Federico Garcia Lorca on the on the 80th anniversary of his assassination.
