Who needs college when you can travel the world? The eldest, Leticia (Elizabeth Pena), is a prim and proper schoolteacher who lives a life of quiet devotion to her father, her pupils and the Lord … until she starts receiving mysterious love letters… Add Hortensia (Raquel Welch to the pot -- a flamboyant and flirtatious grandmother hot for Martin -- and things get even spicier.
