Summary
La vie criminelle d'Archibald de la Cruz is a bizarre black comedy about a man whose overwhelming ambition in life is to be a renowned serial killer of women, and will stop at nothing to achieve it - but not everything goes according to plan.
In El, Francisco is rich, rather strict on principles and still a bachelor. After meeting Gloria by accident, he is suddenly intent on making her his wife. He courts her until she agrees to marry him. Francisco, dedicated at first, becomes a pathologically jealous husband.
