Sinopsis:
It's the story of Natividad (Arcelia Ramirez), a 17 year-old girl, who
is bored with her life at home and with her
village and dreams of going around the world,
perhaps with the handsome lorry driver, Leandro (Eduardo Palomo) who frequents the area.
It's also the story of Benjamin (Eduardo Lopez Rojas), an older man who
is dominated by his sister and who is thought
to be the village's fool. Benjamin falls
in love with Natividad, and decides to abduct her with the help
of his friends.
Eduardo Palomo won an Ariel for Best Supporting
Actor for his role as Leandro.
