''Like an Azalea flower, floating helpless in the strong current of the river...'' goes the song specially composed for Ms Aguirre in this movie by the Master Manuel Esperón. And is true. Her beauty was fragile and delicate as a flower, and her destiny was not in her hands, so one day she decides to commit suicide. Drowning herself fails when a native (who lives in that small fishermen village with his wife and son) finds and rescues her. But the family, once happy in their everyday chores, gets turned upside down with her unsettling presence. Azalea is saddened seeing that, since she never meant to do any harm. However, she can not control the man of the house feelings towards her, which cause his wife to hate her and the son to wish he was older. The only way out is not an easy one. Based on the novel of Hungarian writer Lajos Zilahy,and directed by Alfredo B. Crevenna, this is truly a classic. Somewhat similar is SUSANA by Buñuel, but Susana is crazy and she knows what she does and why she does it... evil woman!
