Based on a real criminal case that took place in Mexico City, THE CASTLE OF PURITY follows a disciplined and sexually driven man who is determined to protect his loved ones from the evils of the world by keeping them locked up at home, where his wife Beatriz and their children help run the family business—making rat poison. As they grow older, the kids begin to challenge their father’s version of life beyond the “castle” walls.
