Cronicas chilangas

"Crónicas Chilangas tells the adventures of three people who all have strong obsessions. "El Jairo," a young schizophrenic, believes in extraterrestrial beings and feels that he should battle against them. Claudia is an overweight woman who has a strong weakness for pornography, a fact that leads her into a number of conflicts. Finally, Juvencio, an old retired teacher whose major concern is his quadriplegic daughter, whose future without him or his wife Anita's assistance, is a great worry to him. The paths of all these three characters are entangled toward the ending of Crónicas chilangas."--Container.

Ley de Herodes Herod's law /

The tiny town of San Pedro de los Saguaros needs a new Mayor, as the populace has assassinated several. As a reward for his party loyalty, the ruling governor gives hapless junk dealer Damián Alcázar the post. An honest if idealistic man, Vargas arrives with his beautiful, ambitious wife Gloria. Picked for his stupidity, he quickly discovers that bribes, blackmail, gratuitous fines, and other abuses of authority are the only way to get things done, and soon transforms himself from ineffectual stooge to paragon of corruption--or, a successful politician. Along the way, he encounters a surly madam, a moralizing doctor, a mercenary priest, and an opportunistic gringo. He justifies his actions with a motto learned from his party leader, who quotes Herod's Law, which is (if somewhat reworded), "Either you screw them or you get screwed."
