A 1976 Spanish erotic drama where the help learns to play the masters — very, very badly.
Ignazio is a depressed businessman after he suffers heavy losses in the financial markets. His wife Helena soon finds distraction elsewhere. Germano lives a double life. Leandro, the gamekeeper of the rich and powerful, soon uses his knowledge of the masters to dominate them - and their wives.

Gauzy lensing that makes Spain look permanently humid and guilty.

Carlos Serrano
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Spain's destape movement: Franco died, censorship collapsed, and filmmakers rushed to put nudity onscreen as political freedom.
Director Carlos Serrano made exactly two features; this was his last, suggesting the 2.0 rating may have been generous.
