honey-filled dolls to get revenge. "La bella durmiente"
("The Sleeping Beauty"), recounts the brief life of a
young dancer through letters and newspaper clippings that reveal
much more than they say. And in "Cuando las mujeres quieren a
los hombres" ("When Women Love Men"), a society lady
and a prostitute form a startling alliance after the death of the
man they both loved. |
