Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and romantics.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.

During the Mexican Revolution, a hardened and rich lady landowner is overtaken by the violence of the times. Losing her land and house, she falls in love with a revolutionary leader that is killed by a sadistic and corrupt federal officer. She takes the revolutionary flag and leads a rampage of violence and destruction.
