El Amor de M Bohio, which translates to "The Love of My Hut" (or shack ) and it comes from the lyrics o a popular love ballad of the same name. It is Director Juan Orol's tale of a violent love triangle where two farm hands out to prove who is the most macho, and thereby win the affections of a woman. This tragic love story takes place on a tropical plantation located just outside of Havana, where its workers are housed in small, thatched-roof "bohios".

These competitions start out to include simple and benign activities at first, like dancing, singing and dueling guitars, or betting on the winning bird at a cock-fight, However, they soon escalate to more violent activities, like public brawls, and saber dueling, which set life changing events into motion for everyone.

Double destinée

Nov 20, 1946
Manucure sans le sou, obligée de subir en silence les lourdes avances de certains de ses clients masculins, María envie sa sœur jumelle Magdalena, jeune veuve ayant hérité d'une immense fortune. Un jour, en essayant le manteau de vison de cette dernière et en admirant son reflet transfiguré dans un miroir, María comprend qu'une autre vie est à portée de main…María-MagdalenaDolores del Río, vedette mexicaine qui a aussi conquis Hollywood, porte avec maestria ce double rôle de Marie-Madeleine, à la fois victime et pécheresse, qui relègue au second plan une poignée de faire-valoir masculins. Un thriller d'une oppressante noirceur et d'une grande audace, tant sur la forme que dans son propos quasi féministe, empreint aussi d'une vision marxiste des rapports de classe. Le scénariste José Revueltas et le cadreur Alex Phillips, qui entament alors avec Roberto Gavaldón une collaboration fructueuse, comptent pour beaucoup dans la poignante beauté du film.
