Beauties of the Night

"Beauties of the Night" is a documentary that sheds light on the forgotten stars of Mexico's golden age of cabaret. In the 1970s and 1980s, these women were known as the "vedettes," the queens of the night, who ruled the stages of Mexico City's nightclubs and theaters. The film explores the lives of five of these vedettes, including Olga Breeskin, Lyn May, Rossy Mendoza, Wanda Seux, and Princesa Yamal, and how they have managed to reinvent themselves and survive in show business and life itself. Through a combination of interviews, archival footage, and present-day footage, the film shows the viewer a deeper facet of the current lives of these five women who, despite the years, are still full of life and an enviable physical condition. "Beauties of the Night" is a story of resilience, passion, and the enduring power of beauty.
