Plot: Three short stories carefully done in the style of those years, with lot of studio scenes and expressionist lighting. The main story (the Argentinian one) completely absurd, following the idea of supplanting somebody in "La Otra", "Dead Ringer" and "A Stolen Life" fashion. This film, as far as I know, was the first co-production between Mexico, Spain and Argentina. After 50 years, is still sort of entertaining because of the involuntary humor and some Mexico City landscapes. Two of its stars -Amparo Rivelles and Jorge Mistral- became very famous in Spanish speaking countries. Both worked very often in Mexico, on films, television or the stage.
