Teaser Storyline for "The Female"

Isabel Sarli (Laura) is a very unhappy young woman troubled by far more than being an inmate in a seedy bordello.

It is the eternal desire for wanting to feel loved that got her into this spot.

Life was tough, drab, and unappealing at home and with the two men in her life.

She left home with the first of the men, a poor sheep herder (Francisco Rabal). He took her into a desolate, harsh and lonely part of the country. Life is a little less lonely when another man comes along, a rather charming horse thief (Jardel Filho). He asks her to leave with him, but offers no more in the way of genuine affection than the man she is living with.

The two men are digging a well for badly needed water and each hopes he is also digging the other's grave.

Laura is faced with a soul searing decision as the dark tale unfolds via flashbacks with scenes of life as it is lived in the house that is the Female's current home.
