Concerning a deep love story who transformed a pair of lower-class young lovers when get across a scheming widow. Solid film dealing with jealousy, passions, treason, sexual intrigues and an extraordinary acting by the main cast being sometimes slow-moving, but also steamily entertaining. Intense and heart-rending drama about a love triangle and jealousy that lead to tragic consequences.
