Sinopsis: Antes de profesar en un convento como religiosa, Viridiana va a despedirse de su tío y tutor, Don Jaime, y se aloja durante unos días en la finca de él. Pero este hombre viudo, que lleva una vida triste y rutinaria, con la llegada de su sobrina cree descubrir el vivo retrato de su difunta mujer. Este descubrimiento opera un gran efecto sentimental en él y Don Jaime intenta que Viridiana prolongue su visita. Just before taking her final vows, a young idealistic nun Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) is requested by her Superior Mother to visit her uncle Don Jaime (Fernando Rey) who has funded her education and provided for the girl for many years. Viridiana has a low opinion of her uncle considering him a horrible person but agrees to visit him to say farewell before her entry into her religious career. When she arrives at Don Jaimes mansion she finds the man to be a quite gracious recluse living quietly with only his housekeeper and caretaker to maintain. Don Jaime confesses to Viridiana that his wife died on their wedding night and that the young nun-to-be is so similar to his dead wife that he wants her to stay with him for good. Viridiana is shocked and decides to leave immediately but Don Jaime drugs the young woman and attempts to make love to her but suffering a bout of guilt, decides against it.
