In José Luis Borau’s La Sabina, an English writer visits a small town in the Andalusian mountains to investigate the disappearance of another Englishman long ago. He plunges into a strange world, where he learns of the legend of La Sabina, a mysterious dragon woman who destroyed men with her lovemaking, and whose cries can still be heard emanating from a cave. La Sabina becomes his obsession, as he immerses himself in the legend and investigates the cave. A young Ángela Molina appears with an international cast in this film, a co-production with Sweden that established her place in European and international cinema following her earlier work with Luis Buñuel.
