Summary: | Viridiana, who is about to become a nun, does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. A would-be nun visits her rich uncle, who drugs her, and everything gets surreal. Directed by Luis Bunuel." |
