La estanquera de Vallecas

AUTHOR: José Luis Alonso de Santos

Synopsis

Two criminals of the fourth come to rob a tobacconist in a poor neighborhood of a large city, and, by the resistance of the estanquera to his threats, she and her daughter are taken hostage, which leads to the presence of the police and the pressure to deliver. What at first had to produce rejection, generates affection, and what more he had to separate to attackers and attacked, unites them.
