Ninón Sevilla

A sizzling, feverish melodrama set amid Mexico City’s red-light district nightclubs, this explosive cabaretera film stars the white-hot Ninón Sevilla as Violeta, a rhumba performer who rescues a baby boy abandoned by a fellow dancer. Against the odds, Violeta raises the child as her own, all the while defending him from his father, the ruthless gangster-pimp Rodolfo.

La historia se desarrolla en Cuba en 1850, cuando aún los negros eran esclavos en los cañaverales.
