Sex and Lucía (2001)
Synopsis
Lucia is a waitress who lives and works in Madrid.
After what she believes to be the loss of her boyfriend, the tortured
writer Lorenzo, she flees to a secluded island that he had often told
her about. There she meets Carlos and Elena, who have also run away to
the island to escape personal tragedy. Unbeknownst to them, all three
have a connection to Lorenzo. Elena met him many years ago on that same
island and enjoyed beautiful, anonymous lovemaking with him in the sea
by the light of a full moon. 9 months later, Elena gave birth to Luna,
but never managed to find Lorenzo. Carlos was the stepfather of Belen,
who disappeared after she unwittingly caused the death of Luna. As she
hears more about the past of her two new housemates, Lucia is reminded
of the book Lorenzo was writing, a tale about a journey into a dark,
deep past that brought on his depression. Soon, the lines between fact
and fiction begin to fall apart.
