Plot
Rosario (Andrea Palma) was the average Mexican girl that grew up in a humble household with her dad. Her boyfriend had promised to marry her and assured her that they would be better off once he landed a decent job. The Father falls sick and is not able to work, leaving his daughter helpless because she was not wed yet. In the process of trying to find some money and trying to get help, she turns to her boyfriend and finds him sleeping with another village girl. She is distraught and leaves town. She decides to leave Cordoba City to settle in Veracruz City. In a port that is facing the Gulf of Mexico, she establishes herself above a sordid cabaret, and starts "selling love" to the sailors that come from afar. She made this her life profession and enjoyed being heartless and reckless with men’s feelings.
