| Plot Summary of In Praise of the Stepmother |
|---|
"Lucrecia is recently married to Rigoberto, and she's getting to know Fonchito, Rigoberto's son from a previous marriage. High sexual tension arises between stepmother and stepson as Fonchito becomes too fond of her new caretaker, constantly looking for tight hugs and kisses. They have sexual encounters from that moment on, hiding the secret from Rigoberto. But the situation turns unstable when Fonchito goes further in his sexual entertainment and writes a school assignment titled 'In Praise of the Stepmother': Rigoberto reads it, kicks Lucrecia out of his house and Fonchito reveals himself as a lusty demon in the face of an angel."
