Description
 
Set just before America entered WWII, Jolts of the Heart is a searing melodrama about the secret lives of Communists working and spreading propaganda in Mexico. Jose, an aspiring novelist, lives with a prostitute named Raquel. She loves Jose deeply, but he carries a torch for Aurora. Trouble begins when Raquel's ex-lover, Nereidas, breaks out of prison seeking revenge on his former flame for turning him in to the authorities. The tension escalates when Jose is assigned to kill Aurora for betraying the Communist cause.
