Los Domingos

The seventeen-year-old Ainara (convincingly portrayed by Blanca Soroa in her first feature film) is an intelligent and idealistic young woman who lost her mother at a young age. Like her religious mother and other family members, she attends a Christian school. Everyone around her expects her to pursue higher education, but she seems to feel drawn more to a contemplative life as a nun. When Ainara tells her family that she is considering entering a convent, it elicits mixed reactions. Her father has doubts but primarily wants to support his daughter. Her atheistic aunt Maite thinks that her niece is about to throw her life away. Does she really want this, or is she influenced by the spiritual guidance at her school?
