The Vows
1973 · Movie · 102 min. · Portugal
A couple of traditional fishermen are linked by a secret vote of chastity. One day, they take in a wounded gypsy man, out of their Christian piety. As time goes by, a relationship, and love emerges between the healthy young woman and the gypsy. The reaction of the local society, and the explosion of repressed sentiments will come to a swirling vortex of violence - abduction, shootings, and forced sex.
