WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Carlotta's return to Barcelona has two purposes. It's a stopover on the way to Avila, where she is researching an article on St. Teresa, a 16th Century nun. It's also to serve her husband Andres with divorce papers. Over a sumptuous lunch of wine and gazpacho, Andres fights to rekindle their relationship. But Carlotta is on a quest for the divine, and in the process of discovering the mystical Teresa's Ecstasy, she discovers herself. Teresa's Ecstasy is a sexually charged look at politics, religion and ultimately love.

Plaza punctuates her role as the estranged wife, Carlotta, with inorganic reactions that disrupt the timing of her scenes. And Linda Larkin gives a shallow performance as Becky, a friend to Carlotta and an antagonist to Andrés.
The second thing you notice about this work is that i[...]
