Don Pedro loves Doņa Leonor who loves Don Carlos, who is desired by Doņa Ana but betrothed to Don Juan. Medrano transfers this romantic farce to the cinematic world of Mexico in the 1930s with its vernacular traditions of ranchera music, honor, and manliness. Written by the first published feminist writer of the New World, this romantic farce examines the idea of free will for women at a time when they were subject to a strict moral code.
