A modern update of the Greek tragedy "Medea," this gritty melodrama follows Julia (Arcelia Ramirez), a black-market abortionist who hatches an elaborate revenge scheme against her low-life husband, Nicolás (Luis Felipe Tovar), after he leaves her for another woman. Directed by Arturo Ripstein, this award-winning tale also features a standout performance from Patricia Reyes Spíndola as Julia's irrepressible godmother.
