The Cutest and Funniest Animals in the World
Os Animais Mais Fofos e Engraçados do Mundo
Jorge (70) is a dedicated janitor at the Paradise Motel, except for a single detail: He secretly records guests having sex and sells the audio to Alberto for extra income as well as affection, but can no longer remember what his own pleasure sounds like. A film that eroticizes bodies that aren’t commonly seen as symbols of attraction, libido or even love.
