Consuelo Vidal

A young couple find out that their parents (her father and his mother) are having a romance. A series of problems arise because the young couple can't accept that relationship.

Reina is an old and lonely widow whose only companion is a little black dog called Rey. When the dog disappears, Reina begins to question her own existence. Suddenly, her old patrons (who had left Cuba twenty years ago) return to Miami to stay for a week and convince her to go with them. After spending some time together, Reina discovers that her usual, lonelier, life is better than anything else and decides to stay in Cuba.

Based on the celebrated play by Abelardo Estorino

Matilde Landeta, l’une des premières réalisatrices du cinéma mexicain, offre un portrait nuancé et novateur du travail du sexe. Dans un monde financièrement dominé par les hommes, il n’y a pas de “gentilles” ou de “méchantes filles”, seulement des femmes dont le corps est chosifié par le patriarcat.
