Holy Camp! (Spanish: La llamada, lit. 'The Call') is a 2017 Spanish musical comedy film directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo.[1][2] It is the film adaptation of the musical of the same name, which was also written and directed by Ambrossi and Calvo and has been running for several seasons in the Madrid theater Teatro Lara.

Plot[edit]

Sister Milagros and Mother Bernarda are two nuns in charge at the Catholic summer camp La Brújula in Segovia. Mother Bernarda is seeking to modernize and reach out to youth through music, while Sister Milagros is full of self doubt.

The main characters are María and Susana, two 17-year-old girls who are spending the summer at the camp which they have attended since they were little. They both love reggaeton and "Electro Latino" music; but God's apparitions to and calling of María begin to change all their lives.
