A rich creep monetizes widowhood. His cousins plot his death. 1988 Mexican soap-opera chaos ensues.
Rich and misogynistic Fabián is determined to seduce married women, whom he literally undresses with his eyes due to a strange obsession. He also receives an inheritance from an aunt and announces that he will give part of it to his three cousins when they become widows. They harass him out of interest and he becomes Virginia's lover, and harasses Maura, who rejects him.
Acting
Andrés García's smoldering villainy is accidentally hilarious.
Writing
The inheritance-widow clause is deranged plotting genius.
Director
Ismael Rodríguez
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sasha Montenegro was Andrés García's real-life partner; their on-screen chemistry was allegedly as toxic as depicted.
This late-career Ismael Rodríguez film represents the dying gasp of Mexico's fichera comedy genre—raunchy, working-class humor that curdled into misogyny by the late '80s.
