Depicts life of the extended family of a wealthy Lima surgeon. The film points out that family loyalty is not an emotional loyalty to an individual but a broader fidelity to a group or clan. Shows how girls in the family are socialized into the system. A brilliant visual and verbal essay on the aristocracy of the 1940's. (Jane M. Loy, Latin American Research Review, vol.12 no.3, 1977)
