The gorgeous Margot supports her aged father by seducing men on trains, slipping them a Mickey Finn (a beso de sueño) and robbing them of money and jewelry. One night her victim is a currency smuggler taking 100 million pesetas out of Spain. He's being watched by a cop and by a burned-out alcoholic, Salvatierra, who does occasional jobs for a corrupt banker; they are quickly on Margot's trail. The cop suspects Salvatierra of working with Margot, but Salvatierra has his own agenda. He becomes Margot's protector; is it for his own good or for hers as well? And what are these feelings that develop between the two of them? Where will the money end up?
IMDB
This 1992 Spanish thriller directed by Rafael Moreno Alba, who also wrote the screen play, is not as bad as the other commentary in this forum makes it to be. Granted, we realize where the story is going, but the film is never dull. The idea that a beautiful woman can outsmart a bunch of common criminals poses a new angle for a film of this genre.
Maribel Verdu shows she is one of the best actresses of her generation. She is not only a beautiful and sexy, but she has the smarts to go with a role that with another person wouldn't have been as satisfying as with her. Juan Diego, who plays Salvatierra, is effective as the drunk man that has been defeated by destiny and suddenly he has the opportunity to reap an unexpected reward. Eusebio Poncela, plays the criminal Delgado with his usual flair.
Don't dismiss this film too soon. Rafael Moreno Alba shows he is can make this thriller work.
