Enter the Barcelona 'Poetry Brothel': a magical, bohemian place where people go after dark to lose themselves in erotic tales and poetry.

Words come alive as desire smoothly pervades every inch and crevice of the listener. Four Poets with four fantasies of intimate sexual desires, enticing you to discover a lust you never knew existed. Winner of multiple awards, Cabaret Desire beautifully showcases all of the qualities for which Erika's films have become famous: modern sets, urban cityscapes, relatable characters, an edgy cast of indie performers, natural storytelling, tasteful styling, fresh music, stunning cinematography, and love that is passionate, and intimate.
