Director’s Commentary
To love may entail coupling desire and compassion in a single flame. When that so happens, fire burns and
transcends simultaneously, and one may speak of mystical love. Forbidden loves often tell tales of a mystical
love.
The novel Love and other Demons caught my attention, recently published, when I first read it back in 1994. As
I worked through it in a single reading, I could not avoid the incessant flow of images as in a film. The subversive
kind of mysticism, stepping beyond age and belief, and ultimately death, captured my imagination.
I shall speak of chance, and yet, not quite a chance, the fact that García Márquez provided me with the extraordinary opportunity of turning his novel into a film. I have approached the film intimately, as one does with a close,
familiar story.
I tell the tale through the eyes of thirteen-year old Sierva María. Living in colonial Cartagena and unwilling to
obey rules, this white child brought up by black slaves, is used to solitude and in the mood for anything, including love.
The film depicts her desire, her sexual-amorous awakening. After a rabid dog bites her, she is accused of demon
possession, and deemed in need of exorcism. The Church assigns Cayetano the task of her salvation. Girl and
priest find themselves irrevocably attracted, their souls entwined in that coupling of desire and compassion;
touched by a flame that simultaneously dams and transcends, taking them beyond death.
Sierva María’s free, vital sensuality shakes the inquisitorial, severe and guilt ridden world of colonial life. Gaps
and fears lying dormant under intolerant obscurantism come to the fore. The regime of political-religious
authority crumbles. Thus the story of the girl interweaves with the history of the city.
In writing the script, my take on Cartagena de las Indias was pretty much the same as if I were writing a
documentary fiction and history came together in a search where it was difficult separating one from the other.
Sierva María’s residence is the Marquis de Valdehoyos house on Factoria street: its four internal patios, its halls
with wooden paneled ceilings, the chiaroscuro of the corridors. Abrenuncio, the Portuguese physician who
assists the rabid girl, resembles Juan José Méndez Nieto, a Portuguese physician who actually lived in Cartagena
during the seventeenth century. Descendants of those black slaves who brought her up, actually inhabit the San
Basilio Palenque enclave today. A mere half hour drive from the city, the colony inhabitants have been able to
successfully preserve their language, African culture and traditions for three centuries.
In a sense, Sierva María tells an unofficial story of the city. Its portrayal of slaves, ecclesiastical authorities, noble
men and inquisitors depicts a Latin America fraught with fear and vulnerability.
It is an interior film, in which I have attempted to engage the viewer in an introspective world of the characters’
ineffable urges and desire.

Production Notes
The idea for the film Of love and other demons was sparked in 2004, when Colombian writer Gabriel García
Márquez offered screenwriter and director Hilda Hidalgo the chance to adapt his novel of the same name for the
big screen. During a workshop at the International School of Film and Television in Havana, Cuba, the famous
author overheard Hilda say that Of love and other demons was his most cinematic work to date, that the novel felt
like it had been written as a screenplay and that she wondered why a film based on the book had not been
created yet. García Márquez challenged her: “Would you like to make it?” Hilda didn’t think twice. “Of course I
would, Gabo!” “Well then make it!,” he answered. His only condition was for her to produce it “like a work of art”
and never lose her creative freedom.
Hilda returned to Costa Rica and threw herself into the project. With the help of her partner in Aliciafilms, Laura
Pacheco, she began searching for allies. María Lourdes Cortés, at the time the director of the Costa Rican Film
Production Center, helped them bring on board Ronald Sasso, executive director of Costa Rica’s Veritas University, The university supported the first two years of the project’s development phase, which included all historical research and location scouting in the Colombian city of Cartagena de Indias, as well as the writing of the first
versions of the screenplay and the outline of the financial plan.
At the beginning of 2005, Hilda finished the second version of the screenplay and brought on renowned
Mexican producer Laura Imperiale, from Cacerola Films (Cinco días sin Nora, Nicotina, El crimen del Padre Amaro,
La perdición de los hombres, and Así es la vida, among others): “I read the screenplay and I felt that the characters were presented in a very sensual and complex manner. The story was told from a woman’s point of view –
it was a unique approach to the work of García Márquez. We saw eye to eye on the kind of movie that we
thought should be made.”
Imperiale joined the project at a crucial moment. Her presence allowed the production to be conceived with a
financial structure new to Central America, which made it possible to create a movie that combines technical
mastery with artistic and creative freedom.
This is the first Costa Rican movie to be financed through an investment trust fund utilizing Costa Rican monies.
Financial, management and consulting firms from Costa Rica, including Creación de Capitales, Bufete
Zürcher, Odio y Raven, Deloitte and MBA Asociados, created an innovative financial, legal and fiscal
structure, and in so doing became pioneers in their fields.
Later on, producers Clara María Ochoa and Ana Piñeres, from CMO Producciones (Soñar no cuesta nada, Esto
huele mal, Bolívar soy yo, and Como el gato y el ratón, among others) joined the project. CMO Producciones is
one of the most solid and successful Colombian film production companies. Both women were interested in the
screenplay’s feminine and intimate approach and became closely involved in the movie’s creative process.

Production Notes
According to Clara María Ochoa, the screenplay “was a beautiful idea and a wonderful adaptation of the book.
We went to work right away. We came up with a budget and a list of all the things we would need and we looked
for shooting locations. The casting process was a priority, especially finding the main character, the young girl
called Sierva María. We looked at about 700 girls from Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba and even Brazil and Argentina.
As it turned out, she was hiding in plain sight here in Colombia. It was amazing that we ended up selecting Eliza
Triana for the role of Sierva María.”
One of the main achievements during the project’s second phase was securing the support of the global
courier company DHL, who offered its services and networks to connect the production teams in Costa Rica,
Colombia, Argentina, Spain and Mexico. Thanks to DHL’s support, the production teams were able to finish the
script, cast all the characters, develop the movie’s financial model and raise the necessary funds.
In Colombia, CMO Producciones handled the financial contributions from private investors and brought Colombian film production companies RCN CINE and E-NNOVVA to the project.
Carolina Angarita participated in representation of the two companies, which belong to the Colombian
conglomerate Organización Ardila Lülle. She read each version of the screenplay and with the support of the
group’s board of directors persuaded several of the member companies (including Postobón and Incauca) to
join the production.
The project was also supported by Cinergia – the Central American Filmmaking Fund –, by the Colombian Film
Development Fund and by the New Latin American Cinema Foundation.
In 2007, Aliciafilms and CMO Producciones signed several coproduction agreements, making it possible to
cover practically the entirety of the movie’s budget.
The following year, Costa Rica joined the Ibermedia Program, and because Colombia is also one of the
program’s members, the project’s producers were able to apply for, and receive, the last funding they needed.
CASTING
Eliza Triana was 11 years old when she initially auditioned for the role of Sierva María. She was too young for the
part and was not selected. The search for the movie’s main character continued and Eliza participated actively in
the process alongside her mother Silvia Amaya, the film’s casting director in Colombia. Eliza invited her
girlfriends to audition and helped other actresses practice their lines. Two years later, Hilda Hidalgo heard Eliza’s
voice on several test recordings in which she acted off camera. Hilda was impressed by the precise, yet natural,
way in which Eliza performed the scenes. She was now thirteen years old, and had inadvertently become Sierva
María.
According to Eliza, the script was “a masterpiece. When I read it, I could imagine every scene. The entire process
has been very exciting for me. Sierva María is a very mysterious character who is constantly exploring and revealing her feelings.”

Production Notes
Hilda has repeatedly praised Eliza’s talent, calling her “one of the best actresses I’ve ever worked with”. Despite
her youth, “she is incredibly disciplined and a consummate perfectionist. We developed a very deep and
intimate working relationship. There wasn’t a single scene in which she didn’t give 100 percent. She kept asking
me if there was something she could do better and if the scene had come out as I dreamt it. She is a very talented
and intuitive girl and she quickly grasped the essence of her character.”
The director added that it was beautiful to see how “Pablo and Eliza grew more and more attached to their
characters each day. They poured their heart and soul into their work and made the characters come alive and
exist.”
From the very first screen tests, Hilda was mesmerized by young Catalan actor Pablo Derqui and by his potential
to express Cayetano’s deep spiritual and intelectual qualities. Cayetano not only struggles to understand the
mysteries of his own existence. He is also very innocent and, at 36, falls in love for the first and only time in his
life.
Pablo Derqui was attracted to Hilda’s feminine perspective and to the world conceived by García Márquez. “This
is the first time that one of his novels has been presented from such a personal point of view. The fact that the
movie is a Latin American production, filmed in Latin America with a cast of Latin American actors, as well as
Hilda’s unique take on this story, will definitely make the movie feel very authentic.”
The Colombian and Spanish cast portrayed characters full of nuances and humanity who embodied the contradictions of an era torn between the Inquisition’s repression and the discovery of the pleasures of the body.
FILMING PROCESS
Of Love and Other Demons was filmed during nine and a half weeks in March, April and May of 2008 in the
colonial city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Filming in Cartagena was a magical experience.
The walled city maintains the essence of the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Being there is almost like
travelling back in time. The crew was given the rare privilege of filming in extraordinary locations such as the
Inquisition Palace, the Palace of the Marquis of Valdehoyos, the San Pedro Claver Cloister, the San Felipe Castle
and the Casa de Huéspedes Ilustres.
Marcelo Camorino, the film’s director of photography shared the director’s vision regarding the use of light and
color. Through the use of chiaroscuro, they created a visually impeccable, sensuous world. They both found
inspiration in Italian painter Caravaggio as they set out to recreate the city’s atmosphere in that period and link
it to the characters’ emotional state.

Production Notes
The job of Colombian art director Juan Carlos Acevedo started months before shooting the movie, when he
prepared the first sketches depicting the film’s locations. Although it was essential to reproduce the historical
moment accurately, the main goal of this process was to create a specific atmosphere, a subjective universe with
a life of its own. Both Adán Martínez, in charge of costume design and Helmut Karpf, the movie’s make up artist
and special effects expert, helped Acevedo find artistic and pictorial references to the story’s historical period.
The result is flawless imagery that successfully conveys the feel of the city’s decadence, as well as the mixture of
ethnic groups, ideas and delusions.
POST-PRODUCTION
”The post-production stage was a team effort,” says the film’s director. “We fed off of each other’s ideas and
created the movie together.”
The editing was a meticulous process during which the director and the movie’s editor, Mariana Rodríguez,
continued the screenplay’s sober and minimalist style. The broad structure of the film, as well as the structure of
each individual scene, were pared down to reveal the essence of the movie’s emotions and characters.
The film’s score was a central part of the film’s sound, and the film’s sound had to be musical; therefore, music
and sound needed to exist as one throughout Of Love and Other Demons. With this in mind, and following the
mandate to create a minimalist soundtrack using no more than two or three instruments and a Baroque-inspired
structure, Costa Rican composer Fidel Gamboa created melodies that portrayed the essence of the film’s characters.
Nerio Barberis and Miguel Hernández, responsible for the sound design, created a tapestry of naturalistic sounds
that isn’t merely descriptive and realistic, but instead opens up to the vibrations and whispers of the human
soul.
The movie’s animations and special effects were created by a team of experts from the Costa Rican company
Martestudio, led by Oliver Zúñiga and Christian Glenewinkel. The emphasis was placed on the texture of the
characters’ dreams, which had to be realistic, yet maintain the levity of fantasy. Several special effects were
approached in a completely realistic way, among them the design of the eclipse, the walled city and the insects.
That was the last step in the process of creating a film that began with an act of magical realism on García
Márquez’s part and whose producers’ main challenge was to never lose contact with the amazing world in
which the love between Sierva María and Cayetano was born.

Cayetano (Spain)
PABLO DERQUI
PABLO DERQUI He is the most important young actor of his generation, and in just a few years has
built a promising career in theater, film and television. He studied at the Institute of Theater in Barcelona, and is as good working in Spanish as he is in Catalan, English and French. In 2007 he filmed
Ventura Pons’s most recent movie, Barcelona (a map), Roser Aguilar’s The best of me, and Fort Apache by
Jaume Mateu Adrover. He received the Butaca XIII award to the best theater and movie actor of Catalonia in 2007. This year he won the Best Actor award in the Short Film section of the Malaga Film Festival.
CAYETANO
He is a thirty-six year old Spanish priest and librarian of the Diocese of Cartagena de
Indias. Early on he leans towards mysticism and spiritual truths. He cherishes chastity. Engages his
intellect to physical exhaustion. Yearns for divine ecstasy. He imagines God’s face dwelling in him and
a complete unity with the One. Relentlessly, sleep proves stronger than faith.
The Bishop acts as his mentor and teacher. They argue on divine nature, the trinity, and the origin of
evil.
He memorizes Golden Age poets; Garcilaso de la Vega in particular. Cayetano believes Garcilaso was
his great grandmother’s grandfather.
When ordered by the Bishop to exorcise the girl, he regards himself unfit on theological and emotional
grounds. Gradually he becomes aware that she is not possessed, but a victim of circumstances.
Cayetano hopelessly falls in love and eventually understands the sense of Garcilaso’s verse: «Because of
you I was born, because of you I have this life, because of you I shall die and because of you I am dying».

Sierva María (Colombia)
ELIZA
ELIZA TRIANA Of love and other demons is her first film, on which she participated at the
age of 13. In spite of her young age, she is a professional actress of extraordinary talent and
dedication. Thanks to her intuition and capacity, she understood the mystery of the character
and she committed herself to the creative process with enthusiasm. Daughter of Colombian
filmmaker Jorge Ali Triana and producer Sylvia Amaya, filmmaking runs in her blood, and she
devoted herself to the film with passion and discipline. Currently she is 15 years old and
attends the ninth grade at the Fontana school.
SIERVA MARÍA A noble girl brought up by african slaves, Sierva María is white and black.
She speaks african languages, collects insects and has acquired a spirit of rebelliousness,
sensuousness and distrust. Her exceedingly long red hair, an offering to the virgin, is not to
be cut until marriage.
Dominga’s death -her black stepmother- leaves her pretty much on her own. Forced to live
in a forlorn house with a very ill mother and an indifferent father, in colonial Cartagena de
Indias. These are times of Inquisition, when fear still prevails throughout the spanish empire.
At thirteen she wants to try the taste of kisses, but is abruptly bitten by a rabid dog, officially
declared possessed by the catholic church, and confined to a convent where she awaits to be
exorcised.
In charge of the exorcism, Cayetano enters her life as a firefly in the dark. He is her only
contact with the outside world, feeding her, healing her wounds, talking to her. At the beginning she refuses but then submits to his care. Seduced by his love she fantasizes with his
gestures, with the lines of his hands. She dreams with him and wants him. Together they will
live a first and only love.

Author of the novel
Gabriel García Márquez, 1982 Nobel Prize for literature
Gabriel García Márquez (Colombia, 1927) is one of the best known twentieth century writers
-perhaps the most prominent-. He published his first novel La hojarazca in 1955. It was
followed by No one writes to the Colonel (1961), Big Mama’s Funeral (1962), In evil hour (1962).
One hundred years of solitude came out in 1967. It was an instant commercial and literary
success. Both novel and writer, have become since, classics of contemporary world literature.
Other work followed: Cándida Eréndira and her heartless grandmother (1972), The autumn of
the patriarch (1974), and Chronicle of a foretold death (1981). In 1982 he was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature and towards the end of 1985 came Love in the time of cholera. In
1989 he published The general in his labyrinth and in 1993 the short story collection Strange
Pilgrims. A year after he edited Of love and other demons, his latest novel before the recent
Memories of melancholy whores.
His passion for film and filmmaking has led him to participate in some of the adaptations of
his novels to film and in screenwriting. In 1985 he played a major role in the creation of the
New Latin Film Foundation and the Film and TV international School in Cuba.

This Uruguayan, living in Colombia, mostly designs costumes for theater, ballet and opera;
