| - Santa Sangre (Holy Blood) is a 1989 film by Alejandro Jodorowsky. When he was a child, Fenix was a magician for a circus. His father Orgo was a large, brutish knife thrower, and his mother, Concha, was a trapeze artist who also led a church dedicated to a girl who died after her arms were cut off. Fenix falls in love with a deaf-mute, Alma, who is abused by her master, the tattooed lady. One night, Concha sees Fenix's father flirting with the tattooed lady. Waiting until they have sex, she attacks him with acid in a sensitive area; in retaliation, he slices both her arms off before killing himself. The tattooed lady takes the deaf-mute and leaves, while Fenix watches helplessly.

The tattooed lady takes the deaf-mute and leaves, while Fenix watches helplessly. Years later, Fenix is in a mental asylum with many Down syndrome patients. One night, when the patients are to be taken to a movie, a pimp takes them to the local red-light district, where Fenix sees the tattooed lady, now a prostitute and pimp. The next day, Concha arrives at the asylum and Fenix escapes. Fenix then acts as her arms as they kill the tattooed lady, leaving Alma alone. Unfortunately for Fenix, Concha is an abusive, protective mother, and God help any women who fall for Fenix...
