On a business trip to Seville, where she is supposed to handle an important project for her father's company, Viennese construction manager Lisa Werner meets flamenco dancer Ramon. The passionate young man literally kisses the pragmatic career woman awake. But their love doesn't seem to stand a chance, because Ramon is already committed.
For years now, the attractive architect Lisa Werner has been devoting herself almost entirely to her father's construction firm and has long since given up any hopes of finding "the great love of her life". She's convinced that things like that only happen to other people. But then her work takes her to Sevilla and there she accidentally meets a fascinating flamenco dancer named Ramón Canales. He criticizes the hotel complex she's planning because he finds it soulless and offers her to introduce her to his city and its people. Soon they fall passionately in love with each other. But Ramon confesses that there is another woman, a woman he can't leave because she was blinded in an accident that he had caused. Lisa sadly accepts this and after only one night of love she returns home, determined never to see him again. But fate has other things in store for her...

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
