EL MOLINO. UN SIGLO DE HISTORIA, DE LLUÍS PERMANYER. Women who travel for sex: Sun, sea and gigolos - Home News, UK. But this holiday romance is not all it seems. The woman is white, in her late 50s; the man, black, 18 - and paid for his attentions. The scene - from the controversial new French film, Heading South, which opened this weekend, starring Charlotte Rampling, makes us confront uncomfortable truths about sexuality in a globalised world, and the legacy of colonialism. In the film, an intelligent, provocative take on sex tourism in the late-1970s, Rampling plays Ellen, an American professor, who spends every summer at a private resort in Haiti, where beautiful, muscled black boys are available to the female clientele, mostly affluent single women in their forties, who despair of finding mates through more conventional means.
"More than sex, they are seeking a tenderness that the world is refusing them," the film's director, Laurence Cantet, explains. Fast-forward 30 years, and the reality of sex tourism is anything but tender. For others, this is exploitation pure and simple. Cuba: Discovering Its People and Culture.
