Virgin of Lust 2005 Original Spanish - hoardcoded English subtitles

is a complex, multileveled film from veteran director Arturo Ripstein

Ignacio "Nacho" Jurado (Luis Felipe Tovar) is the waiter in the cafe, of indigenous descent, given to masturbation with his collection of pornographic photos and to singing tunes from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Mikado. "Defer! Defer to the Lord High Executioner!" he sings–the song of Koko, a lowly tailor who became the feared state executioner, a fantasy of the ordinary man empowered.

The owner of the cafe, Nacho’s boss, Don Lazaro (Julian Pastor), berates him and calls him names like "half-breed." Don Lazaro, though born in Mexico, asserts his Spanish lineage and is a supporter of Franco. Ripstein allows the character a kinder side as well; his relationship with Nacho (master/servant; colonialist/native) involves a degree of trust, perhaps even affection.

In 1940s Veracruz, Mexico, sex and political unrest drive ordinary waiter Nacho (Luis Felipe Tovar) to the edges of insanity. While working at a popular café, Nacho becomes obsessed with a self-destructive prostitute named Lola (Ariadna Gil), and will do anything to win her heart. Unfortunately, Lola cares only for her Mexican wrestler lover (Alberto Estrella) and the assassination of dictator Francisco Franco. Despite warnings from others, Nacho cannot resist Lola and begins losing his mind.
