Las computadoras

Diana secretly owns a nightclub and has a son named Arturo. When Arturo gets his college degree, he decides to celebrate and goes to the nightclub he does not know his mother owns. There, he meets and falls in love with a lady of the night. When he takes her home to meet his mother, both women are embarrassed. Diana offers the girl money to leave Arturo alone, and the young girl takes it and gives it to Arturo with a letter saying she’s leaving. Arturo is upset with his mother and drifts away from her. Diana, tired of the nightclub business and of the double life she has led, decides to retire and gives the nightclub to the women who have worked for her. She intends to patch things up with her son and to welcome the woman that Arturo has chosen to marry.

Directed by René Cardona, Las computadoras leans on a strong ensemble — Angélica Chain, Rebeca Silva, Grace Renat — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1982.
