My Sin Is Loving You

Mar 22, 1989

This film depicts the laborious and isolated existence of Emilia, a working class, urban, Latina housewife in the U.S. Emilia's detached attitude towards her husband and children suggests deep unhappiness and a fatalistic resignation.

There is not much difference between Emilia's "real" life and her soap opera life in that the woman is confined in both environments.
