From case cover:
En una hermosa casa colonial, con fuentes y magnolias en el jardin que mira al rio, Camila O'Gorman toca el piano. No lejos, tañen las campanas de la Iglesia de Socorro donde oficia el presbitero Ladislao Gutièrrez. El destino teje su trama. Camila, educada bajo las severas consignas de una familia tradicional, donde la virginidad y el acatamiento a las virtudes domèsticas es un mandato, se enamora del joven jesuita. En un frio amanecer del 18 de agosto de 1848, Camila O'Gorman y Ladislao Gutièrrez son fusilados. Los acribillados cuerpos de los amantes logran finalmente perpetuar el abrazo por el cual se les quitò la vida.

From IMDb:
In 1840's Buenos Aires, Argentina, a beautiful young socialite named Camila falls in love with Ladislao, a Jesuit priest. After several failed attempts at fighting his own feelings, he ultimately succumbs to her. The two later escape to a far off, secluded village where they assume new identities as husband and wife and begin running a children's school. After several months of relative happiness, the couple's identity is discovered by a local priest. Under moralistic pressure from both Camila's family and the Catholic church the authorities apprehend the lovers, and imprison them for sacrilege.
