A chance encounter between Amalia and Dr. Jano, who is attending a medical conference at her family's hotel, allows the young girl to at last fufill her secret mission: to save one man from sin. Dr. Jano becomes caught up in Amalia’s web of good intentions and the respected doctor finds his world is on the brink of collapse when her adolescent obsession sets off a chain reaction of social catastrophe. Understanding the temptation of good - and the evil it causes - LA NIÑA SANTA delicately explores themes of sin, frustration and desire.
