Victims of Sin (Emilio ‘Indio’ Fernández, Mexico, 1950)

Out of love for her exploiter, a woman dumps her son into the garbage; while Violeta, a sensual cabaret dancer adopts him as hers. She loses her job because of this adoption and ends up prostituting herself in the streets. A man grows fond with the child and gives Violeta a job in La Máquina Loca (The Crazy Machine) cabaret as they fall in love. When the father attempts to get rid of the boy again and destroy the woman’s life, she will do everything to stop him. With this film, ‘Indio’ Fernández and Gabriel Figueroa delve in the brothel melodrama and the bleak ambient of a growing city.
