Description:
Dolores is a mature and kind woman whose husband abandons her because he can’t stand her uncanny generosity. Desperate to get her husband back, she devotes her life to works of charity, which results in her 'soothing' all the village men – with remarkable results. Even the wives are pleased with the results. It is through her compassionate sex that she literally brings back the color and the happiness to her community.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Humorous and makes you think
Loved this movie. It made me laugh and also made me stop and think about... life, love, morals, marriage, good vs. evil.... and all the different perspectives that can be explored when debating over the said topics. Loved it in Spansh but translates very well in English too.

This movie is stark and focuses on characters and dialogue. It shows the conflicts and oddities of human nature and asks the questions: What is sin? What is charity? Who is truly good? Is being truly good a form of vanity or pride? Fascinating stuff. I enjoy movies ... Read More
Rating: - Pleasure to watch; exceeded my expectations
Nothing intellectual here, just some basic comments (am currently fighting off the flu).
I saw this on the shelf and sort of did a double take. What? The basic plot seemed so... ridiculous? weird? I rented it out of curiosity mostly, but this film FAR exceeded my expectations as both a movie of great talent and beauty as well as some basic philosophical substance within a very simple, easy-to-follow-along-with movie that was quite a pleasure to watch.
It raised an interesting ... Read More
