Brief synopsis -
We set out to discover the dangerous, sometimes lethal, power of love and obsession. Luis (Antonio Banderas) and Julia (Angelina Jolie) are bound together first by matrimony, and then by fierce love and desire. But the closer Luis comes to Julia, the more enigmatic she seems to be. Luis wrote to America to find a bride, and following a pen-pal relationship he is drawn by a photograph to invite her to join him in Cuba - and off the boat steps Julia Russell. He becomes inamoured with her, marries her and entrusts him with not just his love, but his whole life. She loves it but for some reason begins a game of goose-chase with him after stealing all his cash. He abandons his life to search for his new wife and is eventually to discover that his love is actually Bonnie Castle, a whore brutally controlled by her pimp who killed the real Julia Russell on the boat from America. At the expense of the whole of his past life and his coffee factory he and she deteriorate into the world of killing the pimp and earning a living by cheating at cards. For Luis, the loneliness which led to love became a passion transcending reason and defying convention, as he and Bonnie engaged in a dangerous dance that took them across the landscape of Cuba, into obsession, eroticism, crime ... and death-row. Based upon the novel “Waltz into Darkness” by Cornell Woolrich. “A provocative presentation...of lust, never-ending love and danger.” - San Antonio Express News
