Sexually repressed, still beautiful and inflexibly virtuous, Tula (Aurora Bautista) becomes a spinsterish "Aunt Tula" to her dead sister's small son and daughter. As decreed by custom in a stifling provincial town, she takes the bereft children and her handsome brother-in-law Ramiro (Carlos Estrada) under her roof. She rejects another suitor to fulfill what she sees as her duty, but cannot admit that Ramiro attracts her. Secretly she pores, moist-lipped and breathless, over a packet of impulsive love letters he wrote to her sister years earlier, yet is offended when the man himself appears...

Some 1,500 fans formed a grim, silent queue for tickets, which were so scarce that even Walter Toscanini, Arturo's boy and Horowitz's own brother-in-law, had to stand in line for three hours...
...nature took over. A Peugeot had a headlight demolished by a spleenful buffalo; another car hit a giraffe.

Striving to accept speaking engagements in parts of the South where he has seldom before preached, he has juggled his schedule...
With his father away on war duty, his mother moved in with her brother-in-law and another family in the town of Ufa on the dark steppes west of the Ural Mountains. Nureyev lived in one room with nine other people, including his three sisters. "My prevailing memory," he says, "is one of hunger-consistent, gnawing hunger." To get food, mostly goat cheese and potatoes, his mother peddled all of his father's civilian clothes piece by piece-belts, suspenders, boots. "Daddy's grey suit was really quite tender," the children would say. Since...
