Looks like a very interesting movie - their views on sexuality especially is rather refreshing:

What a wonderful film. What refreshing attitudes.
My mother told me that my grandfather (a blue collar worker) always handed his Friday pay packet to my grandmother, unopened. She would then open it and hand him a sum of money as his own ... sort of pocket money or beer money I suppose, She then managed the money to provide food, clothing and so on.
According to my mother, Granny always put a little on one side "for a rainy day" or to go on an outing on the train ... a day trip ... that is all that could be afforded. Grandpa worked to support his family and provide a secure home. Granny managed the home and family. It sounds as though the Mexican film shows that in some parts of the world it is still the same. They all looked well fed and contented didn't they?
By the way, Granny had several tins in which she kept money, labeled as to what it had to cover. The rainy day money was kept in a metal teapot, given to them as a wedding present in 1919. Nobody in the family, NOBODY touched a farthing (quarter of a penny) of the household money.
Naturally enough they didn't have a bank account ... bank accounts were for posh rich people !! Everything was paid for in cash out of money saved for the purpose.
As far as I remember, and certainly according to my mother, they were happily married. Totally faithful to each other. Lived through the General Strike in the late 1920's, and Depression in the 1930's with three young children.
I suppose it was World War II which changed our English world.

Good on them. Not many people stick it out these days in relationships, guess it's too easy to throw it away when times get tough.
