Based on the controversial novel by acclaimed author Rudolfo Anaya, Bless Me Ultimate is a turbulent coming-of-age story about Antonio Marez, a young boy growing up in New Mexico during World War II. When a mysterious curandera named Ultima comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world. As their relationship grows, Antonio begins to question the strict Catholic doctrine that he has been taught by his parents. Through a series of mysterious and at times terrifying events Antonio must grapple with questions about his own destiny, the relationship between good versus evil and ultimately how to reconcile Ultima's powers with those of the God and his church.
