Amorous Pancho Villa

Following the underhanded murder of Pancho Villa on the outskirts of Parral, Chihuahua, on July 20, 1923, the whole city mourned his death. The wake for the revolutionary hero was held in downtown Parral, at the Hidalgo Hotel, owned by Pancho Villa, by his closest collaborators and all sorts of admirers. Standing out among the mourners were the four women with whom Villa was having intimate relationships at the time of his death, which made for an awkward confrontation. In a conversation with the past, Luz Corral, his first wife, recognized as such by both the Mexican and US governments, offers a review of Pancho Villa´s affairs of the heart –the high spirited general married 18 times- and military and philosophical adventures, and goes into his unusual passion and hunger for life and justice in an intimate and human portrait of the Centaur of the North. As expected, the tension between the women grows and intensifies, with the personal interests of each of them coming to the fore, culminating in a dramatic surprise ending of communion in memory of Francisco Villa.
