Lina Romay, born in Barcelona in 1954, was a prominent figure in the realm of exploitation cinema, collaborating extensively with Jesús Franco. She debuted in Tender and Perverse Emmanuelle (1973) and showcased her talents in films like The Lustful Amazons (1974) and Women Behind Bars (1975). Romay's performances often blended eroticism with horror, contributing to the unique aesthetic of Franco's work. Over her career, she became a staple of cult cinema, leaving an indelible mark on the genre with her fearless portrayals.
What a Honeymoon
Two newlyweds, Yolanda, an adventurer, and Simón, a young bookworm, travel to Banana Island, where they enjoy the days of wine and roses of their honeymoon until a particularly ridiculous dying man gives them a simple scrap of paper, thus putting into motion a crazy treasure hunt, as fun and erotic as it is dangerous. (Filmed in 1979, lost around January 1980 and found by chance in 2018, in the vaults of the Spanish Film Archive.)
