In Death and the Maiden, Paulina Escobar (Sigourney Weaver, Tadpole, Heartbreakers) is the housewife to a prominent lawyer in a South American country, and a former political prisoner. A storm forces her husband to ride home with a neighbor, and that chance encounter brings up demons from her past. Upon hearing his voice, Paulina is convinced that the neighbor, Dr. Miranda (Ben Kingsley, Sexy Beast, Gandhi) was the doctor who supervised her torture and raped her on several occasions while she was blindfolded and strapped to a table. Despite her husband’s objections, Paulina takes him captive, determined to get a taped confession from him at any cost. Her husband Gerardo (Stuart Wilson, Vertical Limit) is torn between his wife and the law, and Dr. Miranda is forced to endure captivity while husband and wife seek out the uncertain truth about the clouded past.
