Roles Luz
Rating71%
Luz, sans travail et sans argent, abandonnée par son amant, est accusée d'avoir tué sa progéniture. Les preuves de sa culpabilité font pourtant défaut. Emprisonnée, elle tente de se rappeler les circonstances du drame. Le film s'inspire d'un cas authentique, que l'on a appelé au Mexique l'affaire de La Fiera del Ajusco (La Médée de l'Ajusco ) : une jeune mère, pauvre et ignorante, Elvira Luz Cruz, originaire d'un quartier proche du volcan Ajusco, au sud de Mexico, est arrêtée pour l'assassinat de ses quatre enfants, le 12 août 1982. En septembre 1984, au cours d'un procès entaché d'irrégularités, la jeune femme est alors condamnée à vingt-huit ans de prison par la Cour supérieure de justice de son district.
