The true Mexican folk tale of the Weeping Woman, or La Llorona.
The story starts with a beautiful young woman from a village who was so proud of her looks that she refused to marry any local man.
One day, a handsome foreigner arrives in her village and she decides to marry him.
Their relationship is plagued with troubles, however, and not long after they are married, the handsome foreigner begins spending his days drinking with his friends and chasing other women, and anytime he comes home, he will only play with their children.
Jealous of their attention, the beautiful young woman throws her children in the river in a blind rage, but instantly regrets it. She chases them down the riverbank, hits her head and falls to her death.
Her ghost continues to haunt the riverbank, crying out for her children.
