La mujer del puerto (1991)

Directed by Arturo Ripstein

Overview

Perla, a prostitute and the star in a miserable cabaret in the docks, falls in love with a sailor without knowing that he is her brother. Tomasa, Perla’s mother, tries to prevent this incestuous relationship at all costs, but fails to do so.
