Set against the backdrop of a nation on the brink of industrialization, the narrative unfolds as Demetrio's lustful pursuits lead him between the arms of Mireya, a seductive prostitute, and Renata, the epitome of virginal love whom he meets through familial obligations.

This satirical exploration of masculinity and changing societal norms in Mexico offers a tantalizing glimpse into a man torn between the throes of desire and the pursuit of something more profound.
