La Deuda (1997)

La Deuda plot

La deuda, or 'The Guilt, or the strange death and no less surprising resurrection and second death of Ali Ibrahim María de los Altos Pozos y Resuello, called The Turk', is made up of three separate stories in a small village called El Paraíso. In the first part, The Agony and Death, a man is poisoned and dies a long, unpleasant death. No one in the village moves a finger to help him. The victim is De Turk, the local pawnbroker. No one seems directly responsible for his death, but most are not sorry: they owed him money, and the possessions they have pledged hide important life secrets. In the second part, The Fear and the Guilt, the villagers prepare to get their pledged property back. But The Turk's ghost returns to haunt them. Begonia, a former girlfriend of De Turk, steals his body, cleans it and puts it in the attic of his own shop. But the next morning the corpse has disappeared and El Paraíso is overcome with fear. The villagers fear that The Turk has returned to avenge his death and collect the money owed to him. The village chief Nicanor, never too cheated to take advantage of his own position, decrees that from now on all debts no longer count, and that he will find another corpse. In the third part, The Punishment and the Mercy, the villagers see the flooding of the river as retribution for their sins. They devise a procession of penance.
