Kiss of the Spider Woman is a sharply provocative tale of love, victimization and fantasy. This well-known work by the Argentine novelist Manuel Puig, tells the story of the friendship that develops between two strikingly different men imprisoned together in a Latin American jail, a political activist Valentin Arregui, and a homosexual window dresser, Luis Molina. Luis tells the plots of romantic movies, while Valentin tries to keep his mind on his current situation.
