The movie flashes back and forth from the past to the present. A woman is awaiting her execution while she tells her story to a priest.
Luis Vargas …(Antonio Banderas), a wealthy Cuban businessman who seeks out an American wife, believes Americans represent the future, and that his own countrymen – and women – are mired in the past and their traditions. After months of corresponding with Julia Russell (Angelina Jolie), the day comes when she sails to his country to be his bride. Julia departs from the ship, looking nothing like the photos she’s sent prior to her voyage. Julia explains she wants more than a man who is interested in a pretty face, and that’s why she’s been deceptive – substituting a plain-looking woman in place of her own picture. Luis also admits to deception; he’s been misleading her into believing he’s a poor working man, instead of the rich owner of a coffee company.
Luis and Julia wed within hours of her setting foot in Cuba. Passion and sexuality lie just below the surface as the two begin to discover each other over the next few days. Luis falls passionately in love with his new wife. But, while Julia seems to be fighting inner demons, she is holding herself back from too deep an emotional involvement.
Meanwhile, Julia’s sister Emily has been trying to contact her sister, justifiably worried about her after such a long trip to a strange land. Luis forces Julia to write back, fearing that if Julia continues to ignore Emily’s letters, Emily will assume something terrible has befallen her sister and might send the authorities to check on her welfare. Holding off as long as possible, Julia finally pens a letter to her sister, setting into motion the execution of Julia’s hidden agenda. Read more
