Synopsis

Nicolás Estrella makes a meager living by seducing and then stealing from lonely, often widowed, women. While attempting to victimize Coral, a hefty, half-mad nurse obsessed with Estrella’s movie star looks, Nicolás cannot help falling in love with her merciless enthusiasm for his seedy lifestyle. Together, the pair roam the back roads of Mexico in search of lonely women who Nicolás seduces, and the insanely jealous Coral then murders…
