FILM SUMMARY
In Franco's puritanical Spain of 1973, a struggling encyclopedia salesman named Alfredo and his wife Carmen change their fortunes overnight when they agree to make their own Super 8 erotic 'educational' films to be sold in Scandinavia. Along the way Alfredo discovers his true passion lies in filmmaking, and Carmen unknowingly becomes a porn star in the Northern countries. While the experience leads Alfredo to ambitions of a career in serious filmmaking, Carmen is more eager to have a baby than a career in show business, so the tension between the artist and his muse grows. According to The New York Times, TORREMOLINOS 73 "is a joyous celebration of sex and filmmaking." FILM LINKS
