Room in Rome



Alba (Elena Anaya) seduces a stranger (Natasha, played by Natasha Yarovenko) at a club (the details of how they met are left vague). Alba invited Natasha to her hotel room in what seems merely a harmless sexual adventure crowning their last night in Rome. Natasha is at first reluctant - she insists she is not a lesbian - that she likes men. Alba says that many who experience lesbian relationships never go back to men. It is clear that Alba has done this before.

However, through stories, memories and interaction with artworks in the room, the two connect tremendously, descending more and more into perilous depths of truth, trust, and ultimately love. The lovers eventually agree to part ways, returning to their previous lives in Russia and Spain. However, in this regard the ending of the film is ambiguous.
