A story about the confrontation between the overflowing passion of desires and love against the chains of provincial social morality and betrayal.
Set in the city of Vetusta, La Regenta, published in 1884, is one of the great novels of 19th century Spanish literature and one of the most important in history, according to many critics.
It is a naturalistic work that harshly portrays the atmosphere of a provincial city dominated by an idle upper class and a clergy that imposes a hypocritical and suffocating morality. Ana Ozores is the protagonist, a beautiful and young girl who marries Don Víctor Quintanar, former regent of the Vetusta Court, much older than her, selfish, and who lives in a certain way in a world that has nothing to do with reality.
Ana feels overwhelmed in her marriage and, due to her frustration, is trapped by Don Álvaro, the town’s seductive, and by her own confessor, Don Fermín de Pas, who longs to make her his wife.
