Alex, a young photographer, secretly documents his neighbors’ sex lives. But when he witnesses Martha, the wife, and Luisa, her helper at her eatery, being exploited by Martha's husband, he uses his camera to help them—and becomes entangled in a passionate affair.
Cheating Notes
Martha screws Alex, her photographer neighbor, in the outdoor bathroom of her eatery and house after receiving verbal abuse from Berto, her husband as he leaves for work (07:00). Driven by intense emotion, she makes it clear to Alex that the encounter is partly an act of revenge. Their sexual relationship is also an ongoing affair.
Martha hires a new helper, Luisa, and Alex is quite smitten with her. Martha catches him checking Luisa out while eating at her eatery and teases him about it (12:46). "Is it delicious?" she asks him, obviously referring to Luisa, before quipping that she meant the food.
Alex starts hanging out with Luisa and starts courting her. She seems to like him too.
After her husband leaves for work again, Martha goes to Alex's house and has sex with him (34:37). Alex is somewhat hesitant because of his attraction to Luisa, but they finish anyway. Afterward, Martha reassures him that it's fine with Luisa because she isn't the jealous type. She adds that she doesn't even like him and is simply using him as payback for her husband's abuse.
Through Luisa's bedroom window, Alex watches Martha's husband enter the room and screw her (38:39). It is supposed to be fo...d, but Luisa shows little resistance and even becomes proactive at points—a likely part of her developing scheme after discovering a large sum of money in his possession. Heartbroken, Alex eventually looks away, unable to watch any longer as the act continues. Afterward, Martha's husband hands Luisa money.
Luisa comes to Alex's home photography studio to have her portrait taken. He reveals to her that he saw her and Martha's husband screw and apologizes for not "saving" her. Luisa cries, and they have sex (47:22).
Luisa talks to Martha (54:15) and tells her that she knows Martha's husband is being abusive toward her. Martha retorts, revealing she knows her husband is screwing Luisa as well.
A drunk and furious Berto forces Martha and Luisa to have sex in front of him in the living room and on top of the coffee table (59:42), before joining them for a threesome. The scene concludes with a brief, voluntary kiss between the two women (1:02:52), suggesting an underlying bond or affection may have developed between them despite the fo...d circumstances.
Alex watches Luisa get screwed by Berto again and photographs the encounter (1:06:05), but this time, events take a drastic turn.
Summary
I like the scene where Alex sees Luisa get screwed by Berto better—even though he is still only courting her at that point—than the scenes where he screws Berto's wife. I also like the scene where Berto forces Martha and Luisa to have sex in front of him, especially the end where the two women share that subtle, voluntary kiss.
