action
After a few years away from home to study medicine in America, Don Ramon's son Stuart returns to Mexico. In the meantime, Don Ramon, a despotic and cruel man who punishes simple theft with death and does not shy away from violence against his son, married the young Mexican Wanda after Stuart's mother died. Wanda falls in love with Stuart and seduces him; This development gradually destroys the entire family: Stuart feels a traitor to his father and leaves the farm to work as a doctor in town, where he also consoles himself with Wanda. Out of disappointment, Wanda tells everything to her husband Don Ramon, who first kills his son and then Wanda.
criticism
“There are actually no melodramatic events, only the way of telling events melodramatically. As happened here, with a focus on education and even scenes full of tenderness, the director fails because of an unbelievable dialogue and amateur actors ”, summarized“ Vice ”in Il Giorno .
