One reviewer quipped: “God’s screenwriter needs a rewrite.”

The narrative of this short film is a faithful adaptation of the classic tale by Euripides. It centers on a tense family drama where Fedra (played by Susana Salazar) harbors an illicit passion for her stepson, Hipólito (played by Guillermo Iván). When Hipólito rejects her advances, a desperate Fedra attempts to take her own life. The film reaches its climax when Teseo (played by Fernando Becerril), Hipólito's father and Fedra's husband, returns home from work to find a scene of chaos. He is then faced with an agonizing dilemma: who is telling the truth, his wife or his son? castigo divino film 2005
