Summary Portrait of the oppressive daily life of a small town in Mexico that lives by intrigues and secrets. The orphan Matea assists the priest in his parish. The village doctor tries to seduce her but fails and proceeds to defame her, making her believe that she maintains relations with the priest. The people believe and demand the priest to fire her; he refuses and closes with Matea. During the confinement they live a passionate love, although the fatality arrives and the priest dies before the indifference of the doctor and the people. Matea becomes a kind of priestess whom they know as the black widow
