Bad movie brings good memories

Maybe the worst movie I have ever seen. Don't really remember how long it lasts, but it felt like many hours. The story is boring and there are all these nonsense parts totally out of context. The main male character has pretty much sex with everything that moves in that movie, the most notable being a gypsy guy that appears in a bathroom coming from who knows where. (Yeah... I told you it makes no sense!)

I remember that of the 20/30 people watching the movie in the session, only 3 lasted till the end. Me included!

Nevertheless it stayed in my memory as one of the many movies I saw in out of mainstream movie theaters in Lisbon. Yes, it was bad, but you have to see a lot of bad ones to find the cult one.
