Las Doncellas

At thirty-six, Mariana tries to recover from the loss of Sebastian, the great love of her life, drowned during a vacation on a Greek island. She works in London as a therapist, but when her niece Zoe, her only remaining family, calls her from Cambridge to tell her that Tara, her best friend, has been brutally murdered near the student residence, she decides to come to her aid. There she meets Fosca, a charismatic professor of Classical Philology. The professor maintains a study group with a very select number of female disciples, all beautiful and from elite families, of which Tara was a part: the Maidens. In the young woman's bedroom, Mariana finds a postcard with some verses in classical Greek that demand a sacrifice. Soon the corpses of other Maidens will appear on campus with their eyes gouged out and a pineapple in hand, and Mariana will not only have to face the resolution of these crimes, but also the ghosts of her own past.
