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 Scandanavia. Unbeknownst to them both, Carmen has become a porn star in the Northern countries, and a Danish crew flies in to help Alfredo make an Ingmar Bergman inspired feature film called “Torremolinos 73.” Instead of a career in ‘show business’ Carmen is eager to have a baby, and the tension between the artist and his muse grows.
