Lynn lives with her husband Arturo on an island off the coast of Spain. Everything looks normal except for the fact that Arturo suffers from a disease that makes him sexually impotent. Frustrated, Lynn has an affair with a local youth, and she soon discovers that she is pregnant. She needs to get rid of the baby very quickly so that Arturo doesn’t know she’s cheating on him, but abortion being illegal, she doesn’t know where to go. There is this old local woman who aborts young women, but the risk taken on life is big, as hygiene conditions are very low. There is also this strange doctor, a friend of Arturo, but he’ll agree to do the operation only if Lynn has sex with him.

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.
