The legendary life of Mexican singer Lucha Reyes is the basis of this fictionalized biography ( or as director Arturo Ripstein puts it "an imaginary biography"). Lucha Reyes was an unconventional, and sexually liberated woman, most famous for her "cancion ranchera" style singing. Her story begins in 1939, where at 33 she still lived at home with her mother, Dona Victora, the madame of a renowned Mexico City whorehouse. Lucha marries the liberal Pedro Calderon and then buys a beggar's daughter. She becomes the mother to this child, Luzma. Lucha craves lasting love like junkies crave heroin. But for her loyal daughter, she never finds it and in the end no one can help her.

L'histoire s'inspire de faits véridiques. Un témoin raconte ce qui s'est déroulé dans le village de San Miguel de la Canoa (État de Puebla), la nuit du 14 septembre 1968. Cinq amis de l'Université de Puebla partis en excursion sur le volcan La Malinche se retrouvent, en fin de journée, immobilisés sur place, à cause d'un violent orage. Le prêtre local, se comportant en véritable chef de village, refuse de les héberger dans l'église, au motif qu'ils seraient « des étudiants communistes possédés par le démon ». Un habitant accepte de les abriter. C'est alors, qu'à l'instigation du curé, sa maison est attaquée et deux de ses hôtes assassinés. La police retrouvera plus tard les survivants, blessés et mutilés.
