Genre: Foreign / Drama
Director: Dana Rotberg
Cast: Gabriela Canudas, Alvaro Guerrero, Ana Ofelia Murguia, Carlos Torres Torrija, Julieta Egurrola, Carlos Cardan, Alberto Estrella
Set in a small Mexican village in the early 20th century, this is the story of Otilia (Gabriela Canudas), a beautiful young woman, whose body has two flaws: a large birthmark on her left cheek and VD, which she obtained from her prostitute-loving husband. In order to get back at him, she has affairs with a series of lovers who include an outlaw hunted by her husband. This slow-moving tale may be too slow for many.
