Piety, also known as La Pietà (Spanish: La piedad)[3] is a 2022 Spanish-Argentine film directed and written by Eduardo Casanova which stars Ángela Molina and Manel Llunell as Libertad and Mateo in a toxic mother-son relationship. It has been variously billed as a drama, "mother-son horror",[4] and black comedy. It displays camp elements.[5]
