Love and Lust
The romantic, the cynic, the whore. Three men and their sexual adventures under the Tuscan sun. GIORGIO SALIERI gives up on men and takes refuge in a quiet village. Little does he know what the village has in store for him: a horny neighbor (exclusive JEAN FRANKO) and an incurably romantic villager (ROBERTO GIORGIO). This is no solitary, remote harbor and Giorgio soon finds himself besieged by men and their carnal desires on one hand (lusty workmen RICKY MARTINEZ and KAREL ROK in scene 2, Franko's orgiasts in scenes 1 and 3 respectively, exclusive MATTHIAS VANNELLI and LUCAS ANDRADES, JULIAN VINCENZO and OTTO VOKO), trapped by Roberto's quest for love-at-first-sight on the other. Will he give in to temptation one last time? Or will he allow himself to love again and be loved by Roberto? LOVE and LUST was filmed in Tuscany in June 2005.
