Synopsis
In 1950's Madrid, Paco is a handsome young man engaged to Trini, an innocent young woman who has amassed considerable savings for her eventual marriage. While in search of a job, Paco rents a room from Luisa, an exotic and worldly widow, and begins a torrid affair with her. Luisa's sexual hold on Paco is so strong that she soon convinces him to kill Trini, steal her money, and run off with her. But can Paco break free from her control before it's too late?
