Story Overview

Original Sin is a sensual psychological thriller that explores obsession, deception, and the dangerous illusions of romantic desire. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the film follows Luis Vargas, a wealthy Cuban coffee merchant who enters a mail-order marriage with a woman he knows only through letters and a photograph.

When Julia arrives, portrayed by Angelina Jolie, she appears to be everything Luis imagined—beautiful, passionate, and mysterious. Swept away by desire, Luis, played by Antonio Banderas, quickly falls into an intense and consuming relationship, unaware that his new bride is hiding a carefully constructed lie.

As cracks begin to appear in Julia’s identity, the marriage transforms into a psychological game of manipulation and control. Passion gives way to suspicion, and love becomes inseparable from betrayal, drawing Luis deeper into a web of emotional and financial ruin.

Dark, provocative, and deliberately paced, Original Sin examines the destructive power of idealized love and the thin line between desire and self-destruction. The film uses erotic tension and noir-inspired storytelling to question trust, identity, and the cost of surrendering reason to passion.
