A writer of "sexy poetry and novels" mourns the passing of his wife killed in an auto accident three years earlier. He mourns and he broods and he mourns some more. And maybe that's where this feature, produced in South America, tends to go awry. There's just one too many elegies in a country churchyard. Death and passing is not your general upbeat tone for an erotic feature. But it doesn't hinder the main character, Lucas from engaging in quasi-necrosex with his departed wife's ghost in dream sequences straight out of "Dark Shadows."
The cast, obviously, is unfamiliar to American audiences. And they're not very good actors. However the sex scenes are far more passionately arranged, selected and edited than most of your standard couples' videos on the market. The lone wet shot is saved for the fadeout, and most of the liaisons occur with colorful outdoor backdrops. The peripheral shoots are breathtaking, but I would have rather related to the characters on less austere terms.
