In this supernatural-themed romance, a German woman in the between-wars period is being initiated into some kind of esoteric/psychic order and learns at that time that her ideal mate won't even be born for quite a few years. By 1936, she has moved to Greece with her Greek husband, and there she meets Alberto, a very young Greek man, a Jew, who is evidently the man she has been seeking. They are able to read each other's thoughts and do so in the midst of a sexual encounter. Despite the boy's attraction to her, he spurns her due to her age (she is forty). She commits suicide and is born almost immediately as someone able to protect her ideal mate from the Germans. Later, as a young woman, she again has a liaison with Alberto, who again spurns her due to their age differences. Flashbacks indicate that this situation has been part of their lives for many incarnations.

Castle Eros (2002)
Plot Summary:
This was a good softcore video from Playboy/Image. They've done better, but this is still easy to recommend. There's a little threadbare story to tie all the action together. The tone of the video is upbeat throughout. Nobody gets mad at anybody, nobody's life is in danger, and there are no bad guys. The sex scenes were good, but I've seen better in other Playboy/Image videos. A lot of them seemed to end too soon... that is, there was no "climax", or it was so underplayed that I must have missed it. If these scenes had been longer and ended better, I would have given it a higher rating. The actresses were all attractive. Holly Sampson was the real highlight for me. She is in two scenes. Catalina Larranaga has one scene that was excellent. Amber Karney, who I've never seen before, was in several scenes, and was good. She put a lot of energy into her performances.
