Hi there! I’m looking for a movie I’ve watched about 8-10 years ago. My history teacher showed it during the class.
The plot contains a jewish family, in the middle (medieval) or modern ages. This family is trying not to be caught by the Inquisition. I believe they pretended to be catholics and, at some point, they are offered pork, to prove that they were not jewish. I don’t remember what happens then.
Another thing I remember is that a woman is imprisioned and stripped of all her clothing, becoming naked inside her cell. She is then tortured by the Inquisition. And I seem to remember a scene that shows the house of that family completely empty (but about that one I’m not sure).
I tried asking ChatGPT, but it couldn’t figure it out.
Could you help me? Thanks!

3That sounds to be a movie based on “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller or a more historical real story based on.
Is it in English language? Or could it be, in Spanish, El Santo Oficio / The Holy Inquisition (1973)?
Thanks for the answer! As it turns out, I remembered it a little incorrectly... Some details were mixed up in my mind, especially considering I watched that movie when I was a teenager. It is actually Goya's Ghosts. The family was actually catholic, but the daughter is mistaken as jewish. The rest of my description matches the movie.
