Rodrigo Catano seeks to impose in his family a Porfirian order. One day a door to door salesman, Roberto del Hierro, comes into the house to sell an American vacuum cleaner from the "Bright O'Home" company. Maru, Mr. Catano's daughter, watches Roberto while he demostrates the new machine. Roberto leaves and says he will come back to explain Mr. Catano about the vacuum cleaner. Mr. Catano is very upset because a man has been in his house without him been present. Nevertheless, with fast and inteligent talk, Roberto sells him the vacuum cleaner and, later on, a refrigerator. Maru is captivated by Roberto and they fall in love. Mr. Catano is furious when Roberto announces to him he will marry Maru. Written by J.C. Lelo de Larrea <legos@mailer.data.net.mx>

This movie is pure gold. Beautiful, nerve racking and also quite funny! If you want to get an idea about how things worked in the late 40's, specifically in Mexico city, this movie will show you just that! The figure of the patriarch, the customs, the inequality, and the first breaths of women's liberation in the country.
