Strawberries Need Rain
A flowery drama about a young woman called Erika (Monica Gayle) for whom it is time to shuffle off the mortal coil, apparently. And so the Reaper comes-a-calling. Erika’s upset about her imminent expiry – not so much the dying bit but that she's never experienced lovemaking. Feeling a little sorry for her, the not-so Grim Reaper allows Erika to spend an extra day in the land of the living. Filled with fresh impetus and with the clock ticking, she sets out to find a sexual partner. Firstly, she makes a beeline for a childhood beau, who turns out to be more interested in ogling pictures of big-busted women than dealing with the real thing. Candidate number two is even worse: a motorbike-straddling lothario who would rather rape her than make love to her. Luckily, she escapes his clutches and the third time’s a charm as she reunites with her old middle-school teacher, who, despite the age gap, turns out to be her Sweet Prince. And since the Reaper originally came for one soul, he gives Erika an indefinite stay of execution because she and her new beau represent two souls. Or something along those lines.
