Directed by Fernando de Fuentes
In a small town on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, beautiful Lupe (Lupe Vélez) awakens the admiration of many men, including the sailor, Juancho (Arturo de Córdova). When Juancho sails away, promising to return, Lupe is caught in a classic story of womankind, tending her heart while watching the sea (and fielding the proposals of new interlopers). Mainly a vehicle for Vélez, the film shows de Córdova, still an emerging personality, to great advantage.
