Plot

Eva (Ana Ofelia Murguía), Delfa (Leonor Llausás) and Chuy (Malena Doria) are three sisters who seek to make a living in an easy way, so they take advantage of the poverty of various rural families and the innocence of the women, and then sell them false illusions. That is why they decide to go with Mr. Rosario (Jorge Martínez de Hoyos) to buy their daughters María (Tina Romero) and Adelina (Diana Bracho) with the deception of taking them to work in a restaurant; However, the truth is that they will be used as prostitutes who will be raped day and night without receiving anything in return other than a worse treatment than if they were beasts.[3]
