The She-Wolf

In 19th-century rural Spain, a young woman named Isabele lives a secluded life with her father, who is obsessed with the idea that his wife, who died in childbirth, was unfaithful. He raises his daughter believing she carries the mark of her mother's sin. Isabele grows up isolated, developing a wild, untamed nature, leading the superstitious villagers to believe she is a werewolf. She eventually finds solace and love with a young doctor, but her father's paranoia and the villagers' fear threaten their happiness.
