Directed by Michael Rowe, this story of a young girl looking for a relationship that lasts beyond a single night is one of the most haunting films you will ever see. Lara (a brilliant performance by Monica del Carmen) spends her days writing articles for a Mexican financial magazine and her nights in the clubs searching for a man who can give her the passion her everyday existence lacks. She gets more than she bargains for when she brings Arturo (Gustavo Sanchez Para) back home to her apartment. Their coupling is as robotic as the rest we have seen up to the point that Arturo slaps her in the heat of passion. The act opens a deeply hidden door in Lara that leads to a part of her she had been hiding from. At first Arturo is as excited as she is, but when he realizes Lara likes the abuse, in fact needs it from him, he gets scared. So do we.
