The Proud and the Beautiful
Nelly arrives with her sick husband in a remote town in Mexico. But the hot weather does not help the sick husband and he ends up dying of meningitis. In this sudden and painful way, Nelly, who realizes that she has lost her tickets and money, ends up alone and lost in this foreign country. The only help she gets comes from an alcoholic named Georges, who she will end up discovering is a French expatriate who has not managed to recover from the tragic death of his wife.
