About Fuego en el mar
Mariano works as chief driller on an oil platform in Campeche 14 days a month. However, he is obsessed with the idea that his wife Gloria is cheating on him while he is away. Therefore, time and again he asks her to stop working and get pregnant for the second time. However, Gloria refuses to be financially dependent on her husband. The couple's conflicts become more acute when engineer Becker, Gloria's former lover, starts working again in the offices where she works.
Directed by Raúl Araiza, Fuego en el mar leans on a strong ensemble — Manuel Ojeda, Norma Herrera, José Carlos Ruiz — 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 thriller titles of 1981.
