La Salamandra del Deserto plot

In this bible story Tamar is married to Er. When Er dies, Judah orders her to marry Onan. However, Onan does not want Tamar's children and focuses on self-staining (Onanie). When Onan dies, another marriage is arranged for Tamar, but she dresses up as a prostitute to get out of it. In her new capacity, she meets Judah, with whom she eventually begins a relationship.
