During the time of Inquisition and slavery, Sierva Maria wants to know what kisses taste like. She is 13 years old, daughter of aristocrats but raised by their African slaves living in colonial Cartagena de Indias. When a rabid dog bites her, the bishop declares she is possessed and entrusts Cayetano, his pupil, with her exorcism. The priest and the girl will find themselves seduced by a demon more powerful than faith and reason. Based on Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel "Of Love and Other Demons".
