Our take

The battle between desire and repression erupts into increasingly shocking bursts of carnal passion in Tulio Demicheli’s fiery cross-class romance. Felt in every kiss and every shard of broken glass, the volatile flavors of melodrama are rich in social critique, which lays bare the prison of wealth.
