In her landmark film, Sarli (The Lady Is Back) plays Delicia, a worker in a meat processing plant. (A real meat factory was used as a shooting location for the film, which was loosely inspired by real events). Delicia enjoys posing for her artist boyfriend (Victor Bo) and caring for her elderly grandfather… until a dangerous man (Romualdo Quiroga) becomes infatuated with her beauty and decides he must have her. Sarli performs in a series of notorious rape scenes, including one staged in a meat locker on top of a carcass of beef. “Carne sobre carne!” (“Flesh on flesh!”) says her attacker—now an immortal line in Argentine cinema.
