A terminally-ill Spanish cardinal returns to his hometown in Spain to arrange family affairs before dying, meeting his illegitimate daughter (a prostitute locally known as "La Cardenala") and his granddaughter, as well as asking his atheist brother Abel to marry his daughter, so she can get recognition.[1][2]
The film was released theatrically in Spain on 22 April 1985.[2] It also screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 38th Cannes Film Festival.[5]
Diego Galán of El País deemed Padre nuestro to be a film boasting a "curious beauty, more complex than it appears at first glance and more disturbing than the title promised".[6]
