Synopsis
Tear This Heart Out (Arráncame la vida, 2008) is a Mexican period drama you can watch online on iFILM. The year is the 1930s, two decades after the revolution. Young Catalina Guzmán is courted and married by Andrés Ascencio, an ambitious general who will climb to a governorship by any means necessary.
Catalina plays the perfect society wife, swallows her husband's affairs and raises the children he fathered with other women — until, as a grown woman, she falls for Carlos Vives, a young orchestra conductor and leftist. That love becomes both her freedom and her ruin. Roberto Sneider adapts the novel by Ángeles Mastretta, a leading voice in Mexican women's fiction, and keeps the story firmly inside Catalina's point of view. Ana Claudia Talancón leads as Catalina, with Daniel Giménez Cacho as the general. A handsome costume drama with a bitter core, where a beautiful Mexico hides dirty politics underneath.
