Sex and Lucia

Sheri from California wants to walk the streets of Malta naked after watching the film 'Sex and Lucia'. She reviews the film that portrays a sentimental trip to Malta for her movie blog:

In a rare effort to feel cultural, last night I filled my belly with pizza and wine and prepared to settle in for Sex and Lucia (Italy is close to Spain, right?). Though not normally patient or detail-oriented enough to both listen, watch, and read subtitles simultaneously, I found that Sex and Lucia did not tax my brain as much as I had feared, and instead made me want to move to Malta and walk around naked, speaking Spanish.

A complex story about the joined lives of Lucia, Lorenzo, and Elena, this film is both a flashback and a present-day narrative. Lucia, believing Lorenzo dead after years of odd, withdrawn behaviour and a failing writing career, travels to the island of Malta to both cope with Lorenzo's passing and to uncover the details of Lorenzo's obsession with it. While searching for clues via a solo moped journey, Lucia recounts her relationship with Lorenzo. More specifically, she recounts all the sex that they had. The title of this film should have tipped me off to the fact that sex was going to be a major theme here. Like the naive little girl that I am, I was not prepared for what I saw. In the end, I found myself picking my jaw up off the floor more than once, and wishing that I owned a collection of "personal massage devices" even more than that...
