Considered the "golden age" for Mexican cinema this is a classic film that shares the spotlight with titles like "Nosotros Los Pobres" and "La Mentira".
The story takes place during the 1950's and focuses, through a romantic perspective, between the upper and lower class in Mexico City. Laura (Elsa Aguirre) is a wealthy and prestigious heiress who falls in love with a poor but humble painter Ricardo (Ignacio Lopez Tarso). Happiness seems to have found it's place but Laura's father soon brings it to a halt after he forces her to marry someone else, someone she does not love. The journey then takes us into Laura's life as it takes a turn for the worst as things begin to unravel for her.
An excellent movie that deals with sacrifices, the loss of loved ones, betrayal and deception all discovered too late, and the consequences unjustly brought by greed and ignorance.
