 "I was in the dark. There was humidity. Silence. Then, suddenly, someone turned on the light. I don't know if they washed me afterward. Then I saw my mom. Beautiful, gorgeous. It was July 14, 1940. It was the day of my birth."

 The quality of the film is abysmal, with immense peaksof lowbrow humor (see the area of prostitution with a trailer that overturns due to the daring nature of a client with a professional).
