The Tit and the Moon (Spanish: La Teta y la luna) is a 1994 Spanish/French film, directed by Bigas Luna. It entered the competition at the 51st Venice International Film Festival.[1]
Plot
[edit]The film is about a nine-year-old boy's obsession with women's breasts. Tete becomes jealous of his baby brother who is breast fed by their mother. Tete goes on a personal mission to find the perfect pair of lactating breasts to feed on. Estrellita, a beautiful French dancer (Mathilda May), arrives in town, the answer to Tete's prayers. Unfortunately for Tete, Estrellita is the attention of many adult men's affections including her husband Maurice (Gérard Darmon), an older man working as the other half of her travelling act, and attractive Flamenco-singing teenager Miguel (Miguel Poveda). With this amount of competition will Tete ever fulfil his wish?
