Plot

In a small town in Mexico, Matea (Isela Vega) is an orphan who assists the priest, Father Feliciano (Mario Almada), in his parish. The village doctor tries to seduce her, but fails and proceeds to defame her into believing that Matea maintains relations with the priest. The people believe him and demand to cure her; he refuses and locks himself away with Matea. During the lockdown, they develop a passionate love, but fate arrives and the priest dies. Matea becomes a kind of priestess which is known as the "Black Widow".

gollark: Rust has a great hybrid approach!
gollark: I won't read what you say for a while, still scrolling down.
gollark: It's not simple because of no generics. It's more complex since they added bodges to work around not having them like the three standard library generic types.
gollark: The code you call simple is long and verbose. The waitgroup thing is a hack because go's got no generics for some sort of parallel map function.
gollark: Haskell is higher level. That means there's less noise to get in the way, unlike Go. Or at least would be, but insane Haskellers add more lots.
