Synopsis
Beguinas (2024) is a Spanish historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Segovia, 1559. At her own engagement party to the Marquis of Peñarrosa, Lucía de Avellaneda receives a letter from the mother she long believed dead.
That letter undoes everything. Lucía walks away from the future mapped out for a noblewoman and joins the beguines — a community of women who support themselves, answer to no husband and take no convent vows. In the Spain of the Inquisition such independence reads as defiance, and defiance draws suspicion. Amaia Aberasturi plays a woman forced to choose between the world she knew and a freedom she's only beginning to grasp.
It's costume drama with a feminist pulse and the texture of its century — incense, whispered denunciations, the weight of corsets and dogma. Yon González brings a thread of forbidden longing. If you're drawn to stories of women pushing against the rules of their age, give it an evening. Stream Beguinas (2024) online on iFILM.
