The Kadi of Bagdad has harem troubles in this low budget comedy from Edgar Ulmer.

In La Lágrima, a desertic mining lost town, women live under the strict rules of patriarchy. Dina (16), pressed by an unwanted pregnancy, plans to escape. But when she finds out her sister Sariri (11), has to initiate womanhood after the arrival of her menarche, she’ll have to decide if they’ll escape together through the desert.

Karina is 51 years old and is a regular trucker on the north route. Due to mechanical problems, he stops for the first time at "La Mamita" restaurant. The owner and cook of the restaurant, Marta, 63, welcomes her as kindly as any of her customers. However, the accidental discovery of a human hand in the garbage makes Karina see that all the stories this cook tells her are nothing more than a premonition of her destiny.
