Sex, Love, and Other Perversions

Composed of eight stories with comic overtones, all share the central theme of "love" and the extremes to which people will go to achieve it: unrequited love, deception and lust. They all offer a different take on the most difficult of human emotions: love.

The Tiger of Santa Julia

An army deserter turned bandit robs from thieves to give the money to the poor. He was famous for being caught by the police "with his pants down"

El gavilán de la sierra

Musician Rosendo Nevárez learns of his brother Gabriel’s death in a remote spot in the Durango mountains and decides to return to his boyhood home to learn more about his brother’s untimely end. Gabriel, who was more widely known as the “Mountain Hawk,” led an outlaw’s life which was either that of a lowly criminal or daring do-gooder, as accounts of the man’s life vary depending on the point of view of the interviewee. As Rosendo digs deeper for the truth, it becomes apparent that Gabriel was a heroic figure worthy of the song his brother plans to write in his commemoration—if only Rosendo can overcome his growing envy for his brother’s immortal status as a swashbuckling rebel.
