The Animal's Wife
7.1
“Her prison is fear”
Amparo, a submissive young woman, tries to escape from her strict convent school but falls into the hands of “El Animal,” a violent and abusive man who forces her to become his wife. Trapped by fear and constant mistreatment, she clings to her love for her daughter and her hope for a better life. However, her strength and dignity may not be enough to stand against the cruelty of the ruthless Animal.
