At a Christmas party, the women of a luxurious brothel all decide to take a baby as their "mothers" and decide to reform when at a nearby home, a woman gives birth to a baby boy and dies in child birth.

Details

Casa de Mujeres was the last film in which the legendary actress Dolores del Río starred in her native country. She played the role of a madame of a brothel. Del Río's performance in this movie shocked the public because of how she stood out among all the young actresses. The film was not a critical success, but it was very financially successful. One critic wondered: Has Mexican cinema come a long way from Santa to Casa de Mujeres?"[2]
