[edit] Plot
Rafael works at a department store as head of the Women's Clothing department where he enjoys seducing his female subordinates. He and the head of the Men's Clothing department, Don Antonio, compete to be promoted. Don Antonio gets the position and fires Rafael; they come to fighting and Don Antonio is killed. The only witness is Lourdes, an ugly and boring ex-subordinate of Rafael's, who provides him an alibi for the Police, helps him to dispose of the body, and then blackmails him, forcing him to become her lover, to fire his many former lovers, to marry her (she proposes in a live TV show) and to support clown-like women's clothes designed by her. Bordering despair, Rafael has visions where Don Antonio urges him to kill Lourdes. The Police is also investigating him again. He causes a fire in the departement store and fakes his death, in front of his wife and of the Police. Five years later, he (with a false identity) has a small business selling ties and socks, but Lourdes's clown-like clothes are a success and she becomes a millionaire.
