“You die if you jerk off 100 times.” This threat rings through the ears of our main character, a 14-year-old boy from rural Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century. Urged on by the hot flushes of youth, he explains his “sins” one by one so as not to cross over that fateful line, which causes him quite a few headaches.

Angyali üdvözlet / The Annunciation. 1984. HD.

The highest quality version of this film has been found.
HU. A rendező gyermekekkel játszatja el a madáchi drámát. A szabad, elvadult természetbe helyezett látomásszerű, a látvány szintjén is egymáshoz kapcsolódó bibliai és történelmi színekben a gyermek Ádám a gyermek Luciferrel végigjárja a tudás megszerzésének történetét, az emberiség történelmét. A Paradicsomból való kiűzetéstől kezdve a történelmi korokat, az egyes korokon belül a haladásnak, a virágzásnak, a hanyatlásnak fázisait a tézis-antitézis-szintézis dialektikája szerint élik át, csak a helyszín állandósága mond ennek ellent. Az eszkimóvilág után önmagát elpusztítani akaró Ádámot a gyermek Éva szavai megállítják: az emberben él az esély a folytatásra. Az Úr szavára felfelé tekintő gyermekpár mögött azonban ott a Halál.
EN. The Annunciation (in Hungarian: Angyali üdvözlet) is a Hungarian film directed by András Jeles in 1984, based on The Tragedy of Man (1861) by Imre Madách.
This is a surreal account of the history of humanity as portrayed entirely by children between the ages of 8 and 12. The film begins with the biblical story as Adam (Péter Bocsor) and Eve (Júlia Mérö), are deceived by Lucifer (Eszter Gyalog) -- three very photogenic leads - into tasting the "Forbidden Fruit". They are thus chased out of the Garden of Eden by the Angel of Death and, in a vision, sent on an existential journey through western European history.
Always followed closely and influenced by the deceptively sweet, but contemptuous Lucifer, we follow Adam through The Plague, wars, Byzantium's wretched cripples, the French Revolution, the squalor of Dickensian London, and a final return to the scene of the crucifixion. Of course the picture makes a case for its premise - that of the consequences of Original Sin -- yet does so in a very unique way. In the closing scene, Lucifer says, "Why did I strive to achieve greatness in man, who is...in knowlege a pygmy, in blindness a giant?" This reflects the somewhat nihilistic view of a nation still under the boot of Soviet communism.
This rare movie may be one of the best (and only child-starred) art films ever.
Director: András Jeles.
Cast: Péter Bocsor, Júlia Mérö, Eszter Gyalog, György Belme, Róbert Borók, Attila Dobay, Evelin Fehér, Réka Gévai, Ferenc Foltányi, Mariann Kaposi, László Jenei, Mónika Oláh, Katalin Köhler, Attila Rácz, András Papp Takács.

Amor Estranho Amor / Love Strange Love. 1982. FULL-HD.

 Love Strange Love (Portuguese: Amor Estranho Amor) is a 1982 Brazilian erotic crime drama film written and directed by Walter Hugo Khouri. The film stars Vera Fischer, Tarcísio Meira and Xuxa Meneghel. Fischer won the Best Actress Award at the 15th Festival de Brasília as well as the Air France Award.
The story involves an adult man's recollection of a short period of his life in 1937. That year, on the eve of a key political change in Brazil, a 12-year-old boy is sent to live in a bordello. The bordello's owner, the favorite woman of an important politician, is also the child's mother. In those hours, he discovers his own seхuality.
Love Strange Love caused some controversy due to the participation of Xuxa in the cast. In an interview, Xuxa explained that she was between 17 and 19 years old when the film was made. In another interview Xuxa comments that the film was made in 1979. Her character has seхual relations with a boy of 12 years, interpreted by the actor Marcelo Ribeiro. As in the contract there was no release of the image for video, Xuxa, through a judicial injunction, ordered to collect all the original tapes of stores and stores of the country, nevertheless 4,000 copies were sold before the Justice to distribute its distribution, being, therefore, many pirate copies continued circulating, making of the film a true legend among people who did not know the work.
In 2014, Xuxa lost a lawsuit it filed against Google to create a filter in order to eliminate results related to the movie in its search engine. Xuxa filed an appeal against that decision but had, in 2017, the appeal denied.
The video of Love Strange Love has its marketing and distribution prohibited in Brazil. However, the film was released on DVD in the United States in 2005 and can be purchased by any Brazilian on foreign import sites. The US producer did not sell the rights to Xuxa, who filed a lawsuit in the US in 1993, but lost.
