Synopsis:
Golden Balls (1993): Ruthless stud Benito Gonzalez (Javier Bardem) wants wealth, women, and to erect a skyscraper in his own honour. In order to achieve this he marries a sophisticated daughter of a rich banker, Marta (Maria De Medeiros) but keeps mistress Claudia (Maribel Verdu) on the side. When Marta and Claudia realise they are both victims of Benito`s greed, things for Benito begin to crumble.

Has Benito`s luck finally left him?

Jamon Jamon (1992): Headstrong senorita Silvia (Penelope Cruz) becomes pregnant to village Mummy`s-boy Jose (Jordi Mulla). Silvia`s father has left town and her mother Carmen (Anna Galiena) is forced to become the town prostitute.

Jose`s overbearing mother Conchita (Stefania Sandrelli) fears her son will marry the daughter of a scarlet woman and takes action...she hires sexy, young Raul (Javier Bardem) who works in the ham factory and enjoys nude bullfighting, to seduce Silvia.

What ensues is a series of chaotic and frantic couplings, testosterone overload, breasts that taste of ham and a duel to the death with a side of bacon.

Tit & The Moon (1994): Completing Bigas Luna`s saucy Spanish trilogy that began with Jamon Jamon and Golden Balls, The Tit and the Moon tells of a young boy`s search for the perfect breast.

Set in a colourful Catalan resort this exhuberant tale of lust and love is a coming of age story with a differnce. Tete is a nine year old boy who is consumed with jealousy at his baby brother`s monopoly of his mum`s nipples. After asking the moon for a breast of his own, his prayers are answered with the arrival of Estrellita (Mathilda May), a beautiful French dancer. But the course of true love doesn`t run smooth and Tete finds stiff competition for her affection. She is deeply in love with her cabaret partner, Maurice, the flatulent motorbike rider, and is also being pursued by Miguel, the hunky flamenco-singing teenager.

Ages of Lulu (1990): The story of a young woman`s descent into the kinky and dangerous sexual underground in Madrid.
