    Romeo and Juliet 2020: erotic edition
    Eternal myth of extreme love between two persons unable to be together. This time the story-telling is refreshingly original without overacting and other art-house pretence.

    The erotic scenes are many and illustrate the wild and animal nature of the passion.

    The story is a lesson to the spouses stuck in the boredom.of peaceful family life: beware of the forest fire.
