Marcos (Pedro Armendariz) is an arrogant, yet brilliant pelota (jai alai) player, admired throughout Mexico for his skill both on and off the court. An unconscionable ladies man, he'll lie, cheat and steal his way through the hearts of any attractive woman who crosses his path. But when he promises marriage and then abandons Rebecca (Rebeca Iturbide), who happens to be pregnant, his conceit proves to be his undoing, and his downfall is as twisted as it is satisfying.
In Spanish with English subtitles.
This screening made possible through Fundacion Televisa and Filmoteca UNAM.
