Interest was increased in this Mexican political drama because the story criticizes the treasury department of that country, and said department would not allow the release of the film. After a change in government, this story written by Emilio Carballido, directed by Alfonso Corona-Blake and produced by Gloria Lozano, who also plays one of the leads, finally came to light on the silver screens. At the center of the action is a woman who works in the treasury department (Lozano) and the man she loves (Carlos Lopez-Moctezuma) who is also a co-worker and reciprocates her feelings. Both of them are having difficulties because of their jobs. Red tape and bureaucratic inefficiency put an extra burden on them, compounded by the fact that treasury employees often have a hard time getting paid their wages. The director has opted for a light touch, so this is not a strident propaganda piece and should prove of interest to a broad range of viewers.
