Yerma: Barren

Eva Stone is a woman with strong conservative beliefs. She is married to John, a British politician and a business man of Spanish origin, who is unable to have children. To Eva, a woman's life has no meaning if she is not a mother. A Spanish theater company is in London to perform Yerma, the play by Federico García Lorca. The Director, Victor is a friend of Eva and her husband from bygone times. A new passion is reborn between Eva and Victor and Eva has new opportunities to get pregnant. Eva's true drama is not so much that she can't have children but the impossibility, because of strict social conventions, that she can't have them out of wedlock. The real problem shown in the movie is the lack of freedoms and the imposed self-censorship in a standstill and full of conventions society.

This movie is surely one of the Emilio Ruiz Barrachina finest blend, it had everything that makes you glued to the seats and those nail biting moments.

Yerma was by far the most original, intelligent and entertaining movie I have ever seen.

One of the best movies of all time and most likely the best Drama I have ever watched.

Love movie Yerma. Great cast & they don't try to be over the top. One of my absolute faves.

This is possibly one of the only perfect films I have ever seen. It is absolutely confident in every way, something which is extremely refreshing

I'm sorry to Yerma isn't a good movie, because it’s a GREAT MOVIE!!! LOVE IT!

Well thought out Drama and story line. I'll watch it again.

A very good movie! When it comes to end, you want to see more, and more, and more…
