 SCORPIO NIGHTS

In a dilapidated Binondo accesoria, a security guard and his wife occupy the room directly beneath the apartment of a student boarder and voyeur. Each night, he would watch the couple undress and make love. Emboldened by his sexual fantasies, he corners the wife one evening before the husband comes home. Much to his surprise, the woman gives in to his advances. The critically acclaimed film is heralded to be at par with the classics of erotic cinema. Its Toronto screening in 1996 created quite a stir in the international film community.
