This passionate Mexican drama concerns La Chingada Vieja - a troubled woman suffering from grave loneliness. She repels everyone in the local community - including prospective suitors - because she is marked with the stigma of death. No one could ever conceive of her falling in love, but this is exactly what happens when a stranger known as El Hombre sin nombre ('The Man Without a Name') waltzes into her life. They make plans to be together forever, but these ambitions are soon threatened by a vengeful community and the longings of four men to reach heaven.
