In 'Al sur de Granada' (2003), Englishman Gerald Brenan arrives in Yegen, a village in Alpujarra, Spain, after World War I, aiming to rent a house for a year to focus on reading and writing. He becomes the center of attention among the locals: his maid Maria has a marriageable daughter Angeles; Paco offers guidance about love and the village; his landlady, her friend (a devotee of Saint Teresa), the priest, and the teenage beauty Julia (daughter of a witch) all take interest in him. Gerald must navigate his feelings and resist the women's plans for his future while seeking genuine romance.
