Our Romantic Getaway

With her marriage in need of a jump-start, Julie, an upper middle class suburban housewife, convinces her husband, Joe, to embark on a romantic getaway to Mexico. But when the couple arrives, they are told the resort they booked has been oversold. Instead of Waves, they have been switched to Exotica, a sex-crazed Mexican resort Julie had seen on a television exposé a few months earlier.

While Julie had been the one who pushed for the vacation, hoping a getaway without their kids would give them the spark they needed to break out of their predictably predictable lives, Exotica was not exactly what she had in mind for revitalizing their stalled relationship and kicking it up a notch. But with Joe begging to stay at Exotica, Julie agrees to give it a try. To her horror, what was supposed to be a restful, romantic getaway turns out to be an experience right out of Caligula. From her initial shock at being immersed in a clothing-optional environment, to her drunken dive into the "lady pond," Julie laughs and cries through an outrageous yet exhilarating seven days. What starts out as a freakish experience for her (with Joe instantly having the time of his life), turns into a journey of self-discovery and transformation for both of them.
