One night she encounters Arturo with whom she starts an intense sexual relationship that turns darker and dangerous towards a fateful date that hints at her troubled past. Rowe who's based in Mexico delivers an uncompromising character study of a troubled soul who can't escape her past despite death and physical distance from it. Shot entirely in one location, actress Monica del Carmen bears her body and soul in a fearless performance that's utterly devastating. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
