A woman who works in a meat packing plant is continuously preyed upon by lecherous men.
Isidoro P. Levy's Argentine drama is a raw, gritty piece of social realism focused on female exploitation in a meatpacking environment. The visual texture has a documentary roughness that gives it some distinction, and the subject matter carried genuine transgressive weight for its era. However, the narrative is thin and episodic, the performances are functional rather than compelling, and the ending offers little resolution or catharsis. Its novelty lies more in its unflinching milieu and tone than in any formal innovation.
