Plot

[edit]

A rich landowner named Don Miguel is haunted by his deceased mother's ghost, as, years earlier, he murdered her when she walked in on his lovemaking. Pilar, a beautiful fugitive on the run for killing a man, seeks to stay for a while at Miguel's mansion and the two develop a sexual relationship. The woman bears a striking resemblance to his missing wife Marta, who disappeared years earlier. Miguel always suspected his wife may have been murdered.
