Emotionally scarred by the persecution she suffered during that time, she is now returning to visit the bedside of her dying father, and to solve a problem related to her inheritance. Faced with the memories of torture and hardship dredged up by this return, she must now attempt to mend her damaged relationships while dealing with her tormented past and her increasingly insistent sexual fantasies. She also begins a tenuous relationship with Gustavo (Gael Garcia Bernal), a hustler who is possibly not to be trusted. [More]
