Subrealistic story. Funny situations. Inexpensive production and well-realized Mexican film.

Gloria Marin and Abel Salazar play the main characters in this story about a man who tries to kill his wife.

On a stormy night, while she's (Gloria Marin) reading a novel and took by mistake the killing pill, left on purpose by his absent husband, a couple (Abel Salazar and Martha Roth) knock the door looking for a shelter... or so we think. But they claim to be the owners of the house.

The cook and the butler recognize them and admit they are their employers. A couple of characters from the novel she was reading come to life and a series of funny and confusing, yet surrealist, situations take place.

Very recommendable for those who love different movies.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
