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. "Rosario (Palma) becomes a prostitute after losing her father and discovering her boyfriend had a liaison with another woman. In Veracruz, Rosario lives above a sordid cabaret "selling her love to the men coming from the sea." One night, sailor Alberto (Soler) rescues Rosario from the dirty hands of a drunken man. They get along and go to Rosario's room. After making love, they begin to talk and Rosario discovers they're siblings."--Container.
