The movie, based on Manuel Tamayo y Baus' “La locura del amor”, will be available at Días de Cine Reading Club until March 17th, 2013. This initiative is sponsored by the America Reads Spanish program and the American Library Association to promote literature and the Spanish language in American libraries and universities.

Juana la loca stars Pilar López de Ayala, Daniele Liotti, Rosana Pastor and is directed by Vicente Aranda. The movie will be available to participating libraries and universities.

A royal flotilla sets sail from this Cantabrian port, destined for Flanders. Awaiting its arrival is Philip of Austria, betrothed to and now to wed princess Juana, daughter of the Catholic Kings. The marriage will thaw the chilling reasons of state that led to its arrangement. However, the honeymoon will not last long and the young princess would be forced to do battle on two fronts: a conjugal one, when faced with the infidelities of her attractive husband, and a political one, after her sudden ascension to the throne of Castile.

The program is offered at no cost to U.S. libraries and universities. To participate, libraries simply have to register and send the form provided at the America Reads Spanish website. They will receive an exclusive user password via e-mail. This password will allow them to enjoy, legally and free of charge, public viewing of the movie of the week via online streaming at a library or university.
