Woman of the Port
1996, Spanish. Directed by Arturo Ripstein.
Perla, a prostitute and the star in a miserable cabaret in the docks, falls in love with a sailor without knowing that he is her brother.

Set in a sordid environment, the director makes no concessions in this tragic love affair, which is narrated from three different points of view.
