An epileptic girl living in a remote fishing village is disliked by the villagers because of her condition which they view as bad luck. She is supposed to be a wild and free spirit - but there is a difference in wild and free and simply promiscuous.
This film is simply an excuse for many many naked couplings - one of which takes place next to a corpse.
Laia flirts with the boyfriend of one of her acquaintances whilst she is already having an affair with her husband's best friend.
Her husband is a wife beater - he has known her since childhood and been obsessed with her. She married him only to escape her hateful alcoholic mother.
So she is using everyone around her - which I find hard to sympathise with. Even after she has a handicapped child - her behaviour continues the same.
Throughout the film there is a weird skeleton costume dance which signifies something to the film maker but unfortunately not to me. The ending - oh so symbolic - if you give a jot about it by then.
I would put this in the category of Art House - which to me means a load of over sexualised meaningless tripe.
