However, according to the production companies, it is not a biopic in the usual sense, but a free adaptation of the 2013 play La lengua en pedazos, by Juan Mayorga (Princess of Asturias Award for Literature 2022), which in turn is based on the book El Libro de la vida, by Saint Teresa of Jesus. The plot of the film presents Teresa, who patiently awaits the arrival of the inquisitor to be judged. Her future depends on his visit and his words: freedom, prison or the stake.

Paula Ortiz said, "It is a privilege to be able to connect with the work of Juan Mayorga, undeniably one of the great names in Spanish culture today and whose career, not only as a playwright but also as a thinker, I have been following and admiring for years. And it is an even greater privilege to be able to take on this play in which Mayorga has woven his text entirely from the original writings of Teresa de Jesús, one of the most tense, brilliant, poetic and contradictory pens in our language. All the dialogue in this play are original words of the saint and everything in it is ablaze. As it is a battle between one of the most brilliant minds in our culture against an inquisitor who wants to burn her... or save her.”

Teresa is a film produced by the Spanish companies La lengua en pedazos AIE, Bluebirds Films and Inicia Films, and the Belgian company Umedia Production. It has the participation of  RTVE, Orange and Aragón TV, and is financed by ICAA and ICEC. Bteam Pictures will distribute it in Spain.
