Room in Rome (Spanish: Habitación en Roma) is a 2010 Spanish romance film, featuring relations of two young women (Alba and Natasha) in a hotel room in Rome. The plot is loosely based on another film, En la cama (In Bed).[1] Room in Rome became Julio Medem’s first English language film.[1]
Alba (Elena Anaya) seduces a stranger Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) at a club (the details of how they met are left vague). Alba invites Natasha to her hotel room in what seems merely a harmless sexual adventure crowning their last night in Rome. Natasha is at first reluctant – she insists she is not a lesbian & she likes men. Alba says that many who experience lesbian relationships never go back to men. It is clear that Alba has done this before.
However, through stories, memories and interaction with artworks in the room, the two connect tremendously, descending more and more into perilous depths of truth, trust, and ultimately love. The lovers eventually agree to part ways, returning to their previous lives in Russia and Spain. However, in this regard the ending of the film is ambiguous.
