Uno y medio contra el mundo

Uno y medio contra el mundo (English: "One and a Half Against the World") is a 1973 Mexican comedy drama film directed by José Estrada and starring Vicente Fernández, Ofelia Medina and Rocío Brambila.

[1] Lauro (Fernández) is a thief who, while escaping from one of his robberies, meets a boy named Chava (Brambila), who is as much of a rogue as he is.

Years later, after Lauro leaves prison, he meets the already adult Chava (Medina), and they decide to steal as before, with her disguised as a male.

The film ends with an injured Lauro carrying the already dead Chava in his arms as another child tried to join him.

[2] Because of the film's ending, in which Ofelia Medina's character is stabbed for kissing Vicente Fernández's character while she is dressed as a man, the film received notoriety after a controversy in which Fernández claimed in 2019 that he refused to receive a liver transplant, after being diagnosed with cancer, in case the donor was homosexual.
