在这部特蕾莎的肖像剧情片中,一边是同事和领导的盈盈期盼，另一边是三个少不更事的儿子和不堪怠慢的丈夫，纺织女工Teresa陷入两难……一部社会主义现实主义电影力作。
Teresa is overwhelmed: with a husband, three young sons, a job as a crew leader in a textile factory, and volunteer commitments as cultural leader of her union. Her husband, Ramón, wants more of her attention; her feelings are mixed, wanting domestic peace, feeling responsibilities to the revolution, and wanting to control her own life beyond doing dirty dishes. They separate; he begins an affair. When he wants a reconciliation, she asks what his response would be if she'd had an affair too. "But men are different," is his reply. He's failed her test, and to hold on to independence and self-respect, she remains uncompromising and hard-edged.
