Between Pancho Villa and a Naked Woman

1996 · 87 min · ★ 5.6 · History, Comedy, Fantasy

Gina, a modern business woman in her late forties, has a lover named Adrian, a journalist, who she sees once in a while just to have sex. They are both attracted to the historic figure of Pancho Villa: he admires his power while she admires his virility. As Gina helps Adrian to write a book about Villa, she discovers the similarity between Villa's relation to women to that of Adrian and hers, and that Villa's revolution never included her, nor the rest of the female half of the human species. Can the love of a woman and a man survive machismo?
