Príbeh novicky Viridian, ktorá pred zložením rehoľného sľubu navštívi svojho strýka s nevinným prianím rozlúčiť sa so svojím poručníkom, netušiac, že všetko sa vyvinie úplne inak, je v podaní klasika španielskej kinematografie Luise Bunuel krutú satirou na náboženské pokrytectvo. V roku 1961 bola Viridian ocenená Zlatou palmou v Cannes, v mnohých krajinách sa však premietali iba katolíckou cirkvou Cenzurované verzie a doma v ortodoxnom Španielsku bolo jeho premietanie zakázané úplne. Bunuel niesol svoju kliatbu veľmi ťažko a svoj ďalší film Anjel skazy nakrútil v Mexiku. Satirický-surrealistická obraznosť Viridian, jedného z hlavných diel Luisa Bunuel, však dodnes zaraďuje toto filmové dielo ku špičkám svetovej kinematografie.
