A comedy with some very meaningful undertones set in the upper-class echelons of Mexico's well-to-do, SEX, SHAME AND TEARS is a mannered portrayal of two couples whose financial success has not made up for the dissatisfaction of their personal lives. Carlos and Ana have lamentably divergent tastes, his toward the New Age-y and the spiritual, while she pursues the pleasures of the flesh. These differences come to a head when Tomas comes for a visit; as Ana's former lover, he represents everything Carlos lacks for her. These circumstances are mirrored across the street in Andrea and Miguel; Andrea's husband is an ardent lover, though unfortunately not with her, and matters are further complicated when Miguel's former lover Maria comes to stay with them after a recent divorce. After a great deal of arguing, the two couples and their houseguests come to a surprising and humorous compromise in the attempt to work out their differences.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
