A night in an unfamiliar but exotic place, your anxiety gets the best of you and your life is not doing so good to you. You have every reason to go wild, to be the one you always wanted to be. And finally you got someone with you to your room which embarks a series of exploring and self denying and your darkest moment.
Alba (Elena Anaya) travelling to Rome for a business trip met Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) who is enjoying her nuptial vocation from her identical twin sister. First from causal sex then unleash an unexpected bond. The more impossible their fast bonding is the more fragile and insecure they are, how desperate they needed to put down their burden.
Meeting someone new is always intriguing, it is only viable when there is an underlying potential in developing a relationship. The little mind games, the leads were playing were adorable - fake names, backgrounds, and identities. A night your words hold no responsibility, a night you could be who ever you like to be.
There is no denying that stranger is the most difficult/the easiest to share things with. It could be embarrassing telling a stranger super personal stuff, on the other hand, it has no string attached, especially with those one night stands, there is a limited chance in bumping into them in your life again, even if you do, he/she might not even remember they had met you before.
There is only one setting in the movie, the hotel room, which was decorated with ancient paintings. Credit has to be given to Medem, how he linked those decors to the two leads, the little details of the painting, the history background. And the most significant one is the cupid, it symbolised few things, one their past/present situations, two, the cupid arrow is pointing down at them from the ceiling which literally referring the two of them bonding, and last the inseparable feeling caused by the cupid.
The movie would not have worked if it had depicted a pair of gay homosexual or a pair of heterosexual. Whenever sexual content is featured and once men come to the picture, it could easily become “pornish”, or irrelevant or stolen the attention of the message. The way the direct portrait their sexual experience is beautifully orientalised. The slow motions make you admire the artistic side of the sexual content.
Despite 90% of the flick contains nudity, it did not take away the light from the movie. Lust is just one of the element of our life, and communications is another. How Medem stresses both of them is enlightening, and the vulnerability of human is well depicted. How we handle our life.
This is a sexy, lustful, mind provoking experience. The lesbian sensation is hot!
