The story in short: Maria Machita is a young girl with two sisters and two brothers, her father and mother died and she has to take care of them. She falls in love with a man that looks like her father. When they split up an old boyfriend shows up.... De tranen van Maria Machita is the third film of Paul Ruven. The film was rewarded several prizes, the prize of the city Utrecht, the Tuschinski Award and a Golden Calf for the best short Dutch film. The humor is at times a bit bizar and sort of cruel but very funny.
