Product Description:

Similar in tone to THE TURN OF THE SCREW, THE PROMISE (LA PROMESA) stars popular Spanish actress Carmen Maura as an increasingly delusional housewife who finds a new life for herself. Gregoria (Maura) walks through life emotionally numb due to her abusive husband and oppressive religious dogma. But her life takes an abrupt turn after a housepainter tells her, with his dying breath, of a paradisiacal town he once lived in. She abandons her current life and travels there, becoming the nursemaid to the strange son of a rich dysfunctional family. However, things take another unusual turn as she begins to see things at the mansion, and comes to believe it haunted. Is her young charge in need of rescue, or have the disastrous events of her life finally unhinged her sanity completely?
