Beautifully photographed excursion in fantasy for eTrips travel

e is for ecstasy. This is a sweet film with many satisfying moments. And it is the moments we remember, not the days in our lives. The lighting is lushes and natural beauty of these women is staggering.

The pace is slow for today. Needs a re-edit. But plenty great shots to start with anyway. Looking for more from these folks. Very very sensual.

Nothing dangerous here, just plain natural beauties getting their share of fun. This is an eyefull.

Lesbian movie with little plot and emphasis on love scenes

Warning: Spoilers
FULL SUMMARY (skip this if you haven't seen the movie yet):

Alex (Katherine Woodman) visits the grave of her lover Emma Jo who has died of a speed overdose. In gloom and fury towards fate, she sets out to return to her home town, but her car won't start. A friendly and attractive groundkeeper, Haley (Emma-Jane Mezher), diagnoses a failure of the carburator the repair of which could take days (!). As it is vacation time and the only motel nearby is likely to be fully booked, she offers Alex to stay at her house. Alex grumpily accepts.

While Alex is taking a shower, Haley stumbles over the articles and photos of Alex's lover and realizes her guest is lesbian. But Alex isn't excited about telling details about Emma Jo. The next day they go out shopping and on return in the kitchen share a first kiss.

After a passionate night Alex is having dreams and feels she is betraying her love towards Emma Jo. So at dawn she drives back to her grave and assures Emma Jo of her never-ending love in order to be free to move on.

END SUMMARY

This is a short lesbian movie (40 minutes) that has the look and feel of a first effort in directing. There's nothing special about it, everything tastefully done, and glamorous nude love scenes with beautiful participants who, alas, aren't very good actresses.
