Three couples learn some difficult lessons about the cost of infidelity in this drama from Mexico. Mujeres Infieles offers three stories of spouses who stray, each from a different point in the couple's relationship -- the first concerns two people about to be wed, the second looks at a couple who have been married for several years, and the last follows a man and woman who are only going through the motions after decades together. In each story, looking for adventure outside of a committed relationship brings passion, excitement -- and tragic consequences. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When the pilots lose the cash, they have no choice but to outrun the crooks. Armando, Tun Tun, and Roberto hit the road for Mexico City, where they try to scrape together a living while staying on the lam.
