Five women who define an era, a lifestyle, a genre. Beauties of the Night is an intimate portrait of the leading showgirls of Mexico in the 1970s and 1980s. The inexorable passage of time, lost youth, the mirage of fame, the pursuit of happiness… Our characters attempt to answer all of these questions with dignity from a much more demanding stage than that of any theater: the arena of reality.
