Synopsis
The story of two women, a mother and her daughter, who during the Cristero War set traps for government soldiers passing by their house, using seduction that was never consummated. The idea was to deceive the soldiers by making them feel safe, then hand them over, almost with their hands tied, to the Cristero guerrillas. But then one of the women, the daughter, truly falls in love with one of the soldiers, allows herself to be seduced by him, and then tries to save him, only to be killed, in the circumstances, by the soldier himself.
