Sex and Lucía

Synopsis of Sex and Lucía

Lucía is a young waitress working in a restaurant in the centre of Madrid. After the loss of her long-term boyfriend, a writer, she seeks refuge on a quiet, secluded Mediterranean island. There, bathed in an atmosphere of fresh air and dazzling sun, Lucía begins to discover the dark corners of her past relationship, experienced as if through the forbidden passages of a novel which the author allows her to read from afar. Shot to stunning effect using high definition digital video, this enigmatic and sensuous film beautifully explores themes of love, loss, sex and the peculiarities of fate. Sex and Lucía is proof that Julio Medem is one of the leading figures in contemporary Spanish cinema.
