Dolores, the plump wife of Manolo, is a pious woman. She goes to her local church to confess sins that are so ridiculous, even the priest has no patience for hearing her. At the beginning of the story, Manolo, her husband, abandons her and the dusty little town where they live in search of a more exciting life elsewhere. Dolores, who is left to fend for herself, is devastated.
One day she decides to change her name from Dolores to Lolita. With that, her whole personality takes a different trajectory. She always visits her friend Floren, the owner of the local bar where a lot of unhappy men tend to gather. The story of the dejected young man who has never have sex with anyone, affects her deeply and she decides to help this poor soul overcome his loneliness and shyness. The new Lolita is an instant hit in town. The local priest is the recipient of all the money going to Lolita from the appreciative males that come to her for a taste of her charms.
Basically, this is a story that wants to deal with a lot of subjects. The hypocrisy of the local church, the dreariness of the life in the small town, how certain women have to resort to being prostitutes, and the goodness of a woman who decided a bit late in life to change and do the things she wouldn't have dreamt when Manolo was around.
Laura Mana, the director, also wrote the screen play. The film is made more watchable by the presence of Elizabeth Margoni, who as Dolores/Lolita brings a new pride to the town while she does whatever to help the lonely men. Jose Sancho, an excellent actor, has nothing much to do as Manolo. Damian Alcazar, Pilar Bardem, Juan Carlos Colombo, Mariola Fuentes, are seen among the supporting players.
The film wants to deal with a lot of morality issues for its own good.
