Plot

Rosario (Andrea Palma) is a young woman who, after losing her father and discovering the deception of her boyfriend, decides to leave Mexico City to settle in Veracruz. In this port city facing the Gulf of Mexico, Rosario is faced with many challenges, beginning with her search for her missing brother. In the narrative of the film, after a night of passion with the sailor Alberto (Domingo Soler), she has a change of fate. Although a part of her identity in the film regards that of a woman who sells her body, thus being labeled as prostitute, destiny surprises her with an interesting fate that goes beyond the mere idea of "selling pleasure to men coming from the sea."
