"The story of an out-of-work actor, hired by a couple to substitute as the absent son of an aged paralytic, whose business and fortune are to be left to his niece...With it, Hermosillo enters the game of double identity, where nobody is what he or she appears to be. She is really a he, and her boyfriend really aspires to the favors of the actor. The actor pretends to be the absent son, only to end up in the arms of her who is really him. This is much more than mere transvestism, more a way of putting oneself in another's place. Hermosillo begins with this change-or substitution-of roles, used in general in comedies of errors, to develop a reflection on the relativity of social relations and their dependence on sex..." --Peter Cowie, International Film Guide `84
