Profundo Carmesí – Director’s cut (Deep Crimson – Director's Cut)

Mexico, 1949. Coral Fabre, a buxom sensual young nurse who raises her two children by herself, is a fan of French actor Charles Boyer. Coral is laid off by the hospital she works for because she has bullied the patients.
In order to make fun of her chubbiness and her being somewhat corny her colleagues offer her a letter written by Nicolas Estrella, a double of Charles Boyer. Coral, overcome with loneliness, answers the letter of Estrella (also known as Nico) and arranges a meeting with him.
Nico keeps up wonderfully his vague resemblance to Charles Boyer and trades on it with ladies. When Coral first meets Nico she’s immediately attracted to him. Nico, for his part, rather feels like taking leave. But he ends up in Coral’s bed, drawn in by her generous body and her odor. Coral has made up her mind to love Nico. She abandons her children to the first orphanage she comes across. Back to Nico’s place, Coral delves into her lover’s past and unveils his murdering his wife. From now on nothing can come between them. Coral makes him understand that they’re bound for life. There’s no way out. This is their destiny...

In the first version of the film, the events occurred practically because of the complicity of the characters. In this new restored version, the events occur as a result of an extreme love affair.
