In this steamy Spanish love story directed by Bigas Luna (JAMON JAMON), sexy young Marina (Leonor Watling), falls for gorgeous literature teacher Ulises (Jordi Molla) who arrives in town and takes a room at her parents' humble boarding house. On long walks through the hills in Valencia, Spain, bordering the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, Ulises recites passages from Virgil's THE AENEID, eventually winning Marina's heart. A shotgun wedding is quickly followed by the birth of their son, Abel (Ricky Colomer). Financially encumbered, the couple is nonetheless happy, and Ulises has a small fishing boat that he takes for joyrides on the bay. On her daytimes apart from Ulises, Marina is followed and fawned over by local business typhoon Sierra (Eduard Fernandez), who will stop at nothing to have her. One day, Ulises sets sail in his little boat for a midnight cruise, is caught in a storm, and disappears. Grief-stricken Marina settles into an ironically comfortable, pampered life with the disgustingly rich Sierra. Five years later, Marina answers the phone and hears a familiar voice at the other end: Ulises has returned. Will she go back to him and follow her passion? Or will she resist returning to her true love for the sake of her five-year-old child? [More]
