Antonio Speller, a committed filmmaker, loses the desire to carry on with his art films after finding his wife in bed with one of his actresses. The crisis also leads to an artistic change and a new commitment to only make "trash" movies. In the same period he gets close to Paola again, an ex-lover and a cult film magazine manager. In his life suddenly comes two young girls : Tosca , a professionally determined screenwriter and Mara , a young girl ready to do anything to get a part in a movie.
Cheating Notes
At the beginning of the film, Antonio, a filmmaker, comes home and finds his wife having sex with one of his actresses, leading him to break up with her.
Mara, the daughter of a woman from Antonio's past, is ready to do anything to get a part in a movie. She tries to seduce him a few times. She takes off her blazer and assumes a sexy pose on the couch when he comes back from the toilet room (30:20). She goes to dinner with him without a bra, clearly revealing her breasts through a plunging neckline (32:52). After dinner, she continues to seduce him on the couch (40:32). Finally, she lies naked on the bed, waiting for him when he comes back from the toilet room, ready to be screwed by him (43:50). He rejects her advances.
Antonio and his ex-lover Paola have sex in her office, an encounter that begins under the guise of her asking him to rub lotion on her back (45:30).
Antonio has a photo session with Mara. She requests to get nude, and he allows her to undress down to her bra and panties. But after some time taking her photos in her underwear, she takes them off, determined to seduce him (54:29). He rejects her again.
Antonio has sex with Paola on the couch (58:31).
Antonio calls Mara on his drive home, but she can't answer because she's having sex with his scriptwriter friend (1:08:30). Upon arriving home, Antonio catches them in the act. I got confused by this scene because of the way that the three react: both Mara and the scriptwriter leap off the bed as if caught by a spouse, with Mara profusely apologizing, while Antonio's disappointed reaction mirrors that of a betrayed husband rather than a friend.
Antonio comes home to a naked Paola, lying in his bed (1:09:58).
While Tosca, the determined female screenwriter, is seducing and giving Antonio a sexy dance, he sends a text to Mara while she is riding a guy's dick (not the scriptwriter) (1:14:25).
Tosca forces herself on Antonio (1:19:10). He fakes giving in and starts making love to her, but eventually stops, saying it's better if they don't have sex given their professional relationship.
Some fresh footage of Antonio and Paola having sex in front of the mirror are shown, split into a few scenes and interspersed with previously shown sex scenes (1:22:00).
Summary
The non-cheating sex/seduction scenes are better than the actual cheating scene shown at the beginning of the film. Even the encounter at 01:08:30, where Antonio catches Mara with his friend, yet it plays out like a husband catching his wife, is way hotter.
