After the violent death of her father and betrayal by her fiance, Rosario is cast into Veracruz. She becomes a prostitute, living above a cabaret and working "to please the men who come from the sea". One night a handsome, lonely sailor rescues Rosario from a brutal drunk. A romance begins to blossom between the two lost souls, but the revelation of a shocking secret shatters their only chance at happiness. Two legendary stars of Mexican cinema (Andrea Palma and Domingo Soler) made their debuts in this immensely popular screen classic, inspired by the stories of Guy de Maupassant and Leo Tolstoy. (Filmoteca Unam)Summary: "Rosario, una joven campesina, se entrega por amor a su novio sin sospechar que él la engaña con otra. La decepción y el dolor por la muerte de su padre hacen que la joven huya a Veracruz y se convierta en prostituta. Una noche, Rosario conoce a Alberto, un marino del cual queda prendada. Tras pasar una noche de amor juntos, el destino les revela una cruel sorpresa."--Container.
