Valeria (Francoise Fabian) is a doctor, but she's also an alcoholic. Unable to do her regular work effectively, she gives that (and her family) up, so as to better devote herself to drink. However, she has an errant benevolent impulse and invites Chim (Anna Kanakis), a sluttish drug addict, to share her quarters. Thereupon she proceeds to dry the woman out, curing her of her addition almost solely through the force of her will. That done, her victim/patient decides that it's time to return the favor, and after a lot of hootin' and hollerin', demon rum is no longer part of her life. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
