Plot
Bestia de Cardo is a melancholy study of social pressure. It tells the story of Moira, a wealthy, Dominican young woman with a history of mental delusions, who is forced to return permanently to her hometown, Cardo, to the two-faced society that she had left behind.
Moira is ill-tempered but spineless, and she follows her parents’ orders, helping them to gain prestige so that their upcoming traditional new year’s eve party will be successful. However, she makes a mistake that endangers her family’s reputation even more.
Moira befriends a tailor, Hermes, who urges her to flee the town by supernatural means. As they put their plans in action, Moira and Hermes find themselves drawn to one another. The people of Cardo are unforgiving, and escape seems improbable.
