Description

Businessman Antonio is carrying on an affair with Raquel, who wants him to divorce his wife Elena. He purchases for Elena as an anniversary gift a statue – the titular Kneeling Goddess – which, unbeknownst to him, features Raquel as the model. Antonio marries Raquel after Elena dies under suspicious circumstances — but not everything is what it seems.
