Mourners share their memories of a dead film-star at her wake, a la Citizen Kane. Only melodrama.

The days go by dizzyingly for the girls who work at the cabaret ´El Paraíso´. However, on New Year's Eve, in the heat of the glasses and cigarette smoke, they narrate their hapless destinies

1913: A young woman is raped by a priest and turns away from the Church as a result of the experience. 1924: She now is the owner of an expensive brothel, and she plays a small role on both sides of the Cristero Uprising, when foreign-born clergy were deported from Mexico.

A beautiful young woman, adopted as a child by a man, falls in love with her stepfather and wants to conceive a child with him.
