What happens

Susana (Spanish: Susana, demonio y carne; also The Devil and the Flesh) is a 1951 film directed by Luis Buñuel. It is the story of a girl of questionable mental stability who escapes from incarceration and ends up at a plantation where she disrupts a working family's daily routines and chemistry. Susana includes several characterizations, dynamics, and scenes that reflect Buñuel's frequent mockery of Christian religiosity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
