Synopsis

After years in exile, Juan (Eduard Fernández) returns home to Spain, where he becomes obsessed with the sexually precocious Ramona (Thaïs Blume). Unable to control his impulses, Juan rapes the teen and accidentally kills her father while trying to escape. In this steamy thriller set against the notorious Burgos terrorist trials of the 1970s, truth and personal agendas are hard to separate and the young femme fatale may not be the real victim.

Director

Original

Vicente Aranda

Vicente Aranda (born on 9 November 1926 in Barcelona), is a Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer.

Due to his refined and personal style, he is one of the most renowned Spanish filmmakers. He started as a founded member of the Barcelona School of Film and became known for bringing contemporary Spanish novels to life on the big screen. Aranda is famous for exploring difficult social issues and variations on the theme of desire that employs the codes of melodrama.

Love as uncontrollable passion, eroticism and cruelty are constant themes in his filmography. The frank examination of sexuality is one of the trademarks of his work as can be seen in his most internationally successful film: Amantes (1990) (Lovers). —Wikipedia
