Written and directed by Julio Bracho
Esteemed surgeon Alejandro (Arturo de Córdova) is tormented by his failure to save the life of his friend in surgery. Meeting and falling in love with artist’s model Lucia, he returns from a voyage to find that she has married his brother, setting up a second emotional vortex. Plot and character all flow to a generalized mood of dread and longing, with de Córdova brilliantly positioned at the heart of this nexus.
