El Rosal Bendito (The Blessed Rose) is a romantic melodrama with heavily religious overtones. The hero, a young painter named Armando (J. J. Martinez Casado), is asked by a convent to paint a portrait of the Blessed Virgin. After much maneuvering, he talks his reluctant sweetheart Eva (Gloria Morel) into posing for the painting. To use the terminology of the era, Eva has "been around," but the responsibilities of impersonating the Mother of God -- even if only briefly -- completely changes her outlook on life. Towards the end of the film, a group of atheistic revolutionaries set fire to the convent, which action serves only to bring hero and heroine closer together, and closer to God.
