Beautiful Sexy Film for Couples
The basis of this film is a trail marriage between the two characters.

The premise is rooted in an authentic Bolivian custom, but what Hesketh does with it is all her own. Jac Avila and Veronica Paintoux give excellent performances as the couple in...what? Love? Trouble? Danger? You decide. Don't pass this one up!
