Orgasmo nero (1980)

[bunniefuu]

What is happening now? - The big shark has
swallowed his body, but his soul is still in him.
Deep in his heart.

We must keep his soul from vanishing. He must
stay here with his tribe or the evil spirits will take
over his soul.

The soul is not mortal. lt will not decay. Unlike the
human flesh.

This ceremony is hard to understand. All of our
men, which have died, are still living among us.

- But how? - They are living in the bodies of their
wives and daughters.

The people you see here are preparing the
transition for his soul.

l would like to thank you and your tribe to let me
be part of this ceremony.

Welcome home, Helen! - Hello Henry!

How was your flight? - Exhausting, thank you for
picking me up!

But how do l get to Paul? - l will fly you with my
plane to Lucandola and from there you will take a
boat.

Hello Jim, how are you? - Welcome madam. l'm
fine thank you.

Paul is already longing to see you! - l can imagine.
But he's got to wait some more.

First, l would like to take a shower at your home. -
As you wish.

You're looking fantastic, Helen! - Thank you! -
You're looking even better than when you left!

You old flatterer! - No! l'm not! You really are a
special woman.

But first of all l'm a happily married woman!

How was your gynaecological examination in
London? - l hope that l will get the results pretty
soon.

What's your feeling? - A good one!

- Do you really want to have a son? - Not so much
like Paul does.

He badly wants a son. l hope that l can fulfil his
wish.

After all it's not his fault that we cannot have
one. lt's mine!

My only wish would be to have you. - Oh, please,
stop it!

Would you get me a drink? Scotch would be
great! - Yes, coming up right away.

The air condition in the plane didn't work. lt was
awfully hot.

This charter flight was the only one available?

By the way Henry, how is your fianc?e?

Which one do you mean?

Well, this... what was her name? - Lucy? - No,
that was not her name...

Who do you mean, then? - l think Linda was her
name.

Yes, Linda Turner! That's the one you were
engaged with.

lndeed. But l left her. All she wanted was to
marry me.

She did not want to have sex with me before our
wedding night. - And what about this Lucy? -

l left her as well. - Oh Henry!

You really are a dyed-in-the-wool!

- You know, Helen, l like to check out some more
before l put on the ring...

Your drink is ready! Are you coming? - Yes, right
away!

You see, my tragedy is, that the woman l love,
prefers another man.

How long are you going to stay on that island? -
Not for long anymore, unfortunately.

That's the last tribe Paul investigates before the
ethnological congress starts.

Ah, look at this beautiful beach!

Look over there!

Fantastic!

l wish l could always travel like that. Without a
destination, without somebody waiting for me...

l know what you mean. Why don't you simply do
it?

Why don't we have a short break on the Gamma
island?

We will tell Paul that you have missed your plane
and that the next available flight would be two
days later.

But Henry!

Here we are. - We'll see us soon Henry.

See you later! - Bye -

Have a nice trip, Helen! - Thanks! - Bye! - Bye!

After all, those damned doctors only had to say
yes or no.

lt is not my fault Paul. Professor Bondi will send
us his report.

l'm sorry darling but this uncertainty makes me
nervous.

This professor is our last hope.

Try to be patient, Paul. You'll see the answer will
be yes!

All l want is a son! ls that too much to ask for?

No honey.

Hi! - Hi Ha-ini!

What are you doing here all alone? - l'm not
alone. The spirit of my father is with me.

Your father was k*lled by a shark?

Yes. And now, his spirit is looking for a place to
rest in peace on this island.

This is something l don't understand. l don't
believe in such things.

You are the woman of a white man. That's the
reason why you do not believe.

Yes, perhaps. We are too different, Ha-ini.

Europeans have a hard time to believe in
something like this.

Nevertheless we like it here and we envy you for
your nativeness.

l want to go swimming. Do you come along?

Sure, l would like to! - Then let's go!

Ha-ini!

You are very kind to me, Helen.

Tomorrow, there will be a ceremony to give peace
to my father's soul.

l would like you to join me. - Why me?

l thought you didn't like strangers?

You are not a stranger to me, Helen.

All right, if you wish. lt would be an honor to me!

l think this wilderness is extremely beautiful. lt
seems unreal.

But it scares me, somehow.

l guess, because l'm from a different world. A
world full of noise and stress.

The quietness and this peacefulness makes me
nervous.

l know that something is wrong with my life.

Deep inside any human being is longing for peace.

But l need the noise of the city. The boring and
hated routines of everyday life...

Parties and the senseless chatter of friends...

You are probably happier than l am...

But it would change for sure if you left your
known environment...

You know, Ha-ini... l've got to go back to the city...

Would you come with me? You don't have to make
up your mind right away.

l cannot leave my village. Do you really want to
go?

How long are you planning to stay here, Paul?
- Three to four weeks honey...

l won't take part in the ethnological congress. l
want to continue studying the habits and customs
of this tribe.

l've got to get out of here, Paul. l'm bored.
- You're bored? That's a bad joke!

l didn't expect that the company of Ha-ini would
be boring for you.

lt's this island that bores me, not her.

On the contrary! Ha-ini is very intelligent and
l'm having a good time with here.

- l have already noticed that. - l asked her to
come with me, but she said she cannot leave her
village.

That's right, she can't. Otherwise she would
break a tribal rule.

Her father just recently died. And it's her duty to
stay with her mother until she dies.

Only her mother can take away this duty from her.
ln this case she would be free to go.

This custom seems egotistical to us.

But that's the way it is. l could try to convince
her mother to let her go, if you want to.

Stay calm... lt's just a custom...

There's no other way to leave the house of her
mother.

Her mother must reject her. She has to lash her
and chase her out of the house.

Oh darling...

Did you already see this exotic beauty? ls she
really that fascinating like everybody says?

Yes l would say so. She is extraordinary.

Come on, tell me about her! - Well, that's not that
easy... l don't want to exaggerate but she
attracts men.

Now l've got to meet her! l must see this with my
own eyes.

My dear Lydia, this is Ha-ini.

Hello! - George, would come here for a minute?
- Sure, Helen!

l would like to introduce Ha-ini to you.

Well, l'm overwhelmed Helen! Where did you find
this exotic beauty?

l promised not to tell.

Would you care to dance? - Yes. -

Take a cold drink and cool down George! - Forgive
me Helen. You know that l'm easily excited when
it comes to good looking women.

Cheers!

Hello.

There are always the most interesting people at
your parties, Helen.

Thanks for the compliment.

Leave me alone!

Here you go. - l can't play! -

l'm in! - l pass -

Helen has won again! l quit! Helen has got too
much luck today!

l must go now. Bye, bye!

See you later and thank you! - You're welcome -

l'm leaving, too, Helen. - No you have to stay for
dinner. l'll take care of it right away!

Don't go to any trouble!

Hello Ha-ini. - Hello Lydia.

Well, here...

Hello. - Good evening. -

Did you have a good time? - Yes. Are you mad at
me?

No, l'm not. Why should l?

You did not talk to me the whole afternoon. Why?

l know why. You don't like me anymore.

But l did not do anything!

You can do whatever you like. You can even let
yourself being groped by the first sl*t that
crosses your way.

l don't care! - Now l know why you're mad at me.

But you don't need to worry.

All the girls from my tribe have their first sexual
experience with a woman.

That's a custom. And then you have sex with a
man.

You couldn't know that. l'm sorry.

Take a seat, Helen. - Oh, Henry. l'm angry and
depressed. l'm sorry for dropping by without
notice.

That's okay. l hope l can help you.

Would you like a Campari? - Yes on the rocks with
soda.

By the way, how is Ha-ini? - Ha-ini? Oh, she is fine.
She's having a great time...

But today she really was getting on my nerves.

- How's that? - We had a little quarrel. - Things
like that happen.

ls this what it seems like?

l must admit that this afternoon really was a
surprise for me. You should come here more often
when you are depressed, Helen.

Maybe l should.

Did you here anything from Paul? - No. He is so
busy with his ethnological studies.

He doesn't have time to write.

You are a very special woman in any way. But
especially in one.

You are a man's dream come true. - l don't know
if that's true, but if you say so...

All l need is sex. lt's as simple as that. lt is
essential to my life. l need it daily.

l know that.

The more l drink the harder it gets! l'm really good
in bed!

Are you going to borrow me the money? - And
when do l get it back?

- ln ten days. - Okay. -

What would you like to drink? - A Bahama -
Tropical - Coming up. -

How much is that? - One Dollar. -

Thank you.

Stop it now. l want to have you. Lay down!

No! Ha-ini! - Let me go! - Are you crazy?

You wanted to k*ll me! You b*tch!

Stop it! Leave her alone! You b*stard!

She wanted to brain me! l should k*ll her!

Oh darling, calm down! - l should beat up both of
you! -

- Get the hell lost or l'll call the police! -

Come on, let's go! - Where are you going? -

Wait for me!

Welcome home, professor! - Hello Jim, thank you.

Paul! What a surprise!

Great that you are here! l've been expecting you
for next week?

l finished my work earlier than l thought. l can
write down my notes here as well and besides
that...

...l missed you. - Really? -

l'm glad to be back again.

Ha-ini! You're looking great! You seem to be
feeling well in your new environment.

Not only that she's feeling well, she also made
some huge improvements!

l'm glad to here that. l'm going to ask William if he
would take her in his school.

She should learn to read and write.

We already started with that. l've taught her
some things.

And l can assure you that we both are taking it
seriously, isn't it so Ha-ini?

l'm very pleased with my student. She is
amenable and very intelligent.

l'm convinced that the lQ of the so-called
primitive people is on a par with the
Europeans...

... Probably even higher, under certain
circumstances.

That's no news to me, darling.

lce? - Yes. -

Here you go. - Thank you -

Any other news? Did you hear from the hospital?

No. Not a word from professor Bondi, so far.

Strange... l didn't even think about it anymore.
- l'll try to catch him on the phone.

Oh, that really smells good. When it comes to
good food l really wasn't spoiled during my
studies.

Since l'm home l realized that l like to eat good
food. During my voyages l didn't have time to
notice.

Fast food is not the same.

While l was travelling l realized that we cherish
the illusion of freedom.

But we are not free. The primitives are the only
ones who are free.

We are pretty much narrowed by religion and
breeding. - l know that feel patronized by
society...

...ln your opinion it is us who are the primitives...

...l'm sorry darling but l beg to differ.

- But it's the truth. Take Ha-ini's tribe, for
example. They have exceptional customs.

Compared to them, our religions seem to be raw
and fanciless. Primitive, one could say.

Maybe.

TV is boring me to death. l'm going to bed.

l'm waiting for you Helen.

How is she really? - Good. Why are you asking?

Doesn't she miss her island? Most of the natives
have problems adopting, when they are away.

They are usually shocked. At least during the first
weeks.

Ha-ini got really fast accustomed. lt seems as if
she would have been born here.

l don't think that she is in a state of shock.

You probably gave her the love and devotion that
she needs.

l hope that she stays forever.

She would be our daughter, somehow.

Yes, you're right.

Oh, Paul.

Paul, please don't. l've had a hard day.

l understand.

Good night! - Good night, darling.

That's really good!

l love you so much.

You are so warm and so gentle...

l'm really shocked, Helen! That's the most stupid
thing you could do.

Don't exaggerate Paul. l didn't do anything wrong.
- That's what you say!...

This creature has looked for a mother and you
are turning her in to your lover!

You're wrong. You don't know how it developed.

Ha-ini is very sensible. She needs my full
affection.

And l gave it to her. - Well, all right Helen.

l don't want to make a big deal out of it.

Maybe it was wrong, maybe it was right, l
don't know it.

l'm probably not so innocent myself concerning
this situation.

l neglected you in the past time. But now...

...we have to save our relationship. l will change...

... l will work less. But this girl... must go before
it's too late.

She won't go. lf she has to, then l will leave as
well.

Now you listen to me, Helen! Nothing will happen
unless l say so!

From now on you will do what l tell you to do! We
will send this girl back to her island!

The sooner the better!

She won't go, because l love her.

She has got a tenderness that you will never
have. You are always demanding.

She really loves me. But she would never demand
giving birth to a son.

Sitting at the bar is what you call studying? l
would rather go home.

Hey! Get me another one!

Hey buddy! - What's up? - Did you get turned
down without getting turned on?

- What are you talking about? - Well, if you
don't understand, then l don't need to talk to you.

l think so, too.

Hey you! - Yes? - Listen...

How about going to bed with me? What do you
say?

You're too drunk for that! - Forget it! - Besides,
l'll only do it for money.

Ha-ini... Stop crying... Everything is going to be all
right.

The Sir is taking me back to my village. - No l will
not let this happen.

You'll stay with me. - l cannot go back to my
tribe...

My mother expelled me. They will not take me
anymore...

Believe me...

Don't be so pessimistic! Nothing will happen to
you!

No one can separate us... No one. l'll swear!

Paul?! - Hello Henry. - Did anything happen? Come
in!

l've been to every bar in this town but l still need
a drink.

Get one for me, will you?

Tell me, what's the problem? ... Helen?

- We had a quarrel. - Don't you all the time?

That will settle. - No, this time it's different.

lt's not about the child l want from her.

Helen started something with this black beauty.
They have sex together.

- That's a bad joke? - No it's true. l caught them
in the act.

But what is even worse, Helen wants to continue
this affair.

l never would have expected that from her!

What am l supposed to do? Give me some advice,
Henry.

Should l do nothing and pretend it's one of her
crazy ideas, or should l leave her?

Paul, l think that l always was a good friend to
both of you. But ...

...first of all l was your friend and not Helen's.

To be honest, l've always asked myself why you
married Helen.

Helen is not the right woman for you.

l wanted to tell you that for a long time. But...

...if l told you earlier you would not have believed
me and you would have been angry with me.

She is a very flighty woman. l'm sorry if l hurt
your feelings.

- What are you trying to tell me? - l think l must
open your eyes.

lt has to be. Even though you still love her. She
is...

... Do you know what people say about her?
lt's not very nice...

- No, no, no! - You know ... her likings for black
men...

- That's not true! - She picks them up in
speakeasies... When you are not around...

You are lying! That's not true! - Yes it is, Paul.
Unfortunately.

Maybe l should have told you earlier. Helen is
pretty dissipated.

But l can go into more details if you insist. She
was in bed with me, too.

She was what?

She made love to me.

You b*stard! l will k*ll you! - Stop it! You will not
solve your problems like this! - l'll k*ll you!

lf you really love her, you must take her like she
is.

You liar! l will pay you back!

You cannot bear the truth!

And l called you my best friend! But you are
nothing more than a piece of dirt!

lf l would go to bed with my best friend's wife, l
would keep my mouth shut!

Paul! What are you up to?

Oh, no! No!

Now l'm going to show her how it is with a man.
- No, you will not touch her!

Shut up! Don't you tell me what l have got to do!

Come on you little b*tch! - Let her go Paul, please!

This is all part of your education!

Let me go!

No!

l know why you are doing this, Paul! You want to
punish me!

Forgive me, Helen.

You did what you had to do.

l'm sorry Ha-ini!

There's a letter for you madam! - Thank you.
- Good bye.

Paul! Paul! Where are you?

Paul... At last! - What's up?

The letter from professor Bondi arrived!

''According to the results of the last physical
examination l can guarantee you a pregnancy.''

Fantastic! ''A longer in-patient treatment at our
hospital is mandatory. Please tell provide us with
your date of arrival.''

This is the best message in my entire life.

Finally, with god's help... We'll have a son.

Oh Paul, l'm so happy!

What's wrong? - Nothing. -

Now the problem with Ha-ini will be solved as
well.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Please pour us a glass.

We had the same champagne when we were here
for the first time.

Do you remember? - Of course, Sir! l remember.

Exactly two years ago.

l'm very happy Paul. l think we have mastered our
problems.

Yes, you are right. lt all started in this restaurant.

Here, we had our first quarrel.

But l don't want to talk about those old stories.

The fact that l'm able to have a child has
changed me.

Do you know how badly l wanted this? But not
just for egotistical reasons.

l also want it for you. To reinvent yourself.

To reinvent both of us.

To us! - Cheers!

Now l realize how much you love me.

l had the feeling that everything between us had
come to an end. - But no!...

...The only problem we have is Ha-ini. lt will not be
easy telling her to leave us.

She will hate us if we send her back. She will
think that we punish her.

l don't think so Paul. - But l do. - We did
everything for her.

Maybe we should... give her some money? What
do you think?

She will not take it.

l will talk to her. She will not raise trouble.

Don't worry honey...

l'll be right back as soon as l dropped her off.
- l want to go with you, darling.

Well, if you want to... But it will be a hard trip.

You know honey, actually l'm glad that you will
come along.

l will never leave you alone anymore. Not a single
day!

Me, too!

l love you very much! Why don't you put away the
book?

Darling, wait here for me.

lt won't take long.

Farewell Ha-ini. - Good bye!

Ha-ini, come here please!

My old man has left the business up to me. He
never was a good business man.

Well, but he started the boat-rental, didn't he?
Without him you would be hanging around,
unemployed.

Kato! Wait here! l'm going to look for my husband!
- All right!

Drink this, Sir!

Come, eat!

l knew you would come.

Now, you cannot leave me anymore.

He is a part of us now... and we are a part of him,
Helen.

Where is Paul? - Follow me.
