DISTINTO AMANECER: Octavio is a union activist searching for documents that prove governmental corruption. Pursued by the law, he encounters an old university comrade, Julieta, who hides him. Her husband is another old friend, now an embittered bureaucrat. After she commits a crime to save the papers, Julieta must decide where her loyalties really lie. LA PERLA: The Pearl is the tragic fable of a simple Mexican fisherman who finds a valuable pearl and begins fantasizing about untold wealth and luxury for himself and family. His more sensible wife is uncertain as to whether the pearl is an omen of good luck, but soon she, too, falls under its spell. The couple's naivete leads to their being exploited and brutalized by sharpsters and thieves. Before the fisherman angrily hurls the pearl back into the sea, the gem brings about nothing but death and despair.
