Sinopsis

1995: Berlín: mención especial del jurado. Chicago: premio del público. 1995: Valladolid: Espiga de Plata: Mejor Actor. Goya a la mejor película en habla hispana / Drma / Basada en la novela del Premio Nobel Mahfuz, el callejón de los milagros, en pleno centro de la ciudad de México, es el escenario donde se entrecruzan las vidas de varios personajes, todos ellos con una historia que contar. Cansado de su matrimonio con Eusebia, el cincuentón don Ru, dueño de la cantina del barrio, descubre nuevos y extraños sentimientos en su vida. El joven peluquero Abel y el anticuario don Fidel están enamorados de la bella Alma, hija de doña Cata, lectora del tarot. Susanita, la rentera, busca el amor en el joven Chava, hijo de don Ru, y en Güicho, el cínico empleado de la cantina. Una decena de personajes más completa este complejo retrato de la vida en la ciudad.


Synopsis

This Mexican drama is a faithful adaptation of Nobel-laureate Naguib Mahfouz's novel, only it is set in contemporary Mexico City instead of 1940s Cairo. The film is comprised of three overlapping "chapters" that come together in the fourth chapter. Each segment, centering on a different character, takes place at the same time in a rundown neighborhood. The disparate characters all have one thing in common—none of them get what they want. Chava, the son of tavern-owner Rutilio, wants to go to the US. The fiercely independent and beautiful Alma is thinking about marrying a wealthy shop keeper.

The impoverished young barber Abel is in love with Alma. Then there is the spinster Susanita who owns an apartment house and spends her spare time involved in unhealthy love affairs. After killing his father's mistress in a fit of moral outrage, Chava ends up on the lam for two years. Abel takes off for a long time and Alma ends up becoming a drug-addicted prostitute whom Abel cannot save. Susanita gets married to young Guicho and learns that he is robbing her. She is just about to toss him out when she discovers that her really loves her after all.
