Plot & Summary
Acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Dana Rotberg returns to the screen with this hypnotic drama about love and revenge. One of the main themes is Otilia's sexuality. She loves to parade her impressive voluptuous body around like a statue during sex, while the man fumbles around, having trouble getting his pants off. This is no problem since she grunts loudly enough for the both of them even if he still has his pants on. Gabriela Canudas plays Otilia beautifully and the scenes are sexy and erotic.Set in a small village during the beginning of the 20th century, Otilia (Gabriela Canudas) is both blessed with a body that is the epitome of feminine perfection and cursed by an ugly and massive birthmark that covers her entire left cheek that mars her beautiful face. The juxtaposition between fabulous beauty and disfigurement proves unsettling for the villagers and she grows up friendless, save the family's hired hand MelquÃades. Though most figured she would end up as a prostitute, she is married off to Isidro, the local police chief. Cruel and petty, this ogre of a man brutalizes her and eventually infects her with venereal disease, rendering her sterile.
This movie is a female empowerment tale at its best, where sex is a powerful and effective weapon.
