Belle Epoque

Belle Epoque is the celebrated sexy cinema classic that captured the attention of the world and garnered the 1993 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, introducing the world to the mesmerising beauty and undeniable charm of Oscar winner Penelope.

Set in 1931, Belle Epoque is the delightful tale of a young, handsome Spanish Civil War deserter named Fernando (Jorge Sanz) who seeks refuge with a generous artist, Manolo (Fernando Fernan Gomez) and finds himself in the middle of a romantic dilemma when Manolo's four beautiful daughters return home to the family nest and create all manner of mischief.

Distracted at every turn, Fernando is stifled by his many amorous possibilities, which woman should he romance? Seemingly surrounded by attention, affection and inevitable seduction, Fernando soon finds himself overpowered by each of the flirtatious, high-spirited sisters. A lush and lascivious sensual romp in the tradition of Like Water for Chocolate and Jamon Jamon, celebrating newfound sexual freedom for women, Belle Epoque is a delicious dip into the glistening pool of romantic life.
