Amantes (Lovers)
is a shocking, erotic thriller - based on a sensational true crime
story - from director Vicente Aranda. In 1950's Madrid, Paco is a
handsome young man engaged to Trini, an innocent young woman who has
amassed a considerable savings for her eventual marriage. While in
search of a job, Paco rents a room from Luisa, an exotic and worldly
widow (Victoria Abrill) and beings a torrid affair with her. Luisa's
sexual hold on Paco is so strong that she soon convinces him to kill
Trini, steal her money, and run off with her. But can Paco break free
from her control before it's too late?
The "Lethally, deliciously erotic" (San Francisco Chronicle) Victoria Abril ( High Heels) stars as Luisa in this sexually-charged drama that was honored with the 1991 Goya Award for Best Film and Best Director.
