Amantes

Vicente Aranda / ES, 1991 / 103 min.

Based on a real crime that took place in the 1940s, this is a film of intrigue, passions and strong erotic content.

Amantes

It is the story of a young man who, having just completed his military service, looks for work to earn money and marry his girlfriend. While he is looking for work, he takes lodgings in the house of a widow, with whom he begins to have a sexual relationship. From this moment, the main character enters an internal struggle between his two loves.
