SIMAS C @simas_eros 5 days ago The erotic disturbances of adolescents and adults—a film that is conceptually risky, yet beautiful, charismatic, unsettling, and iconic in its final form. Set against the backdrop of 1990s American suburbia, a dysfunctional family is forced to confront its most intimate fantasies and secrets. Superb. See more Jul 30, 2013 I LOVE this movie so much! It's so cute and sweet and touching. I love how you never get to see what's going on behind the hotel doors,it's like a mystery and you have to use your own imagination to know the sexual activity that's going on. Beautiful and stunning movie! The ending was sooo sad though but,altogether,this was an amazing movie! :) See more Apr 27, 2013 Um casal se conhece por meio de um anúncio, encontra-se em um café e vai para um hotel.
