Medical negligence is a scourge of the welfare system. Analytical studies of the sector reveal disturbing data. Without going any further, the incidence of adverse effects related to healthcare in Spanish medical centers is close to 10%, in line with our European counterparts, and more than 40% of these fatal effects are clearly avoidable...

On vacation with my slim sister
This preamble makes sense because of the story I am going to tell next. Angela Nobilova has suffered from eating disorders since early adolescence. His thin complexion and his penchant for eating dishes of half-boiled chard and low-fat yogurt have led to pre-anorexia, iron deficiency and a constant vitamin deficiency. After her twenties, this Czech native of Prague experienced a reproductive desire and decided to have a child with her formal boyfriend, but Kathy, a friend of hers who works as a midwife at the Pilsen maternity hospital, recommended that she put an end to her problems with feeding and gaining the necessary strength for a pregnancy without complications.
Even so, Angela went to the Holešovice poliklinika to discuss the situation with her family doctor. She simply needed a medication to increase her appetite. Your doctor, Dr. Kohoutský, is a doctor in his sixties at the end of his professional career. Protected behind his old-fashioned glasses, crouched under angular entrances that extend his forehead towards infinity and sheltered by a generous mantle of fat (product of his fondness for knuckles with křen sauce and copious mugs of black beer); He covers his daily quota of consultations with ease. He is pursued by a reputation as a dirty old man among his colleagues at the polyclinic, a reputation that he mitigates with extensive knowledge of common diseases and differential diagnoses only at the level of eminences.
Angela, now in the hands of the good doctor. (AI picture)¹
The day he treated Angela, his right hand was shaking more than usual, and his handwriting when prescribing was a complete disaster. That indecipherable scribble was going to put the apothecary in trouble... At the pharmacy on the corner of the popular Strossmayerovo náměstí, Angela presented the medical prescription and, in exchange, received a box of Intrinsa patches, a medication indicated for interest disorder hypoactive sexual In other words, the good doctor understood that Angela lacked sexual appetite, and not that she lacked appetite in the sense of hunger or desire...
After this brief epilogue, Max Bellocchio takes us into a film highly influenced by the nouvelle vague. In the 9 minutes of plot footage, the attentive viewer flows between conversations and the charm of everyday actions, in the purest style of the films of the venerated Richard Linklater.
We now travel to the Bayahibe region, in the southeast of the Dominican Republic, which the transalpine filmmaker does not hesitate to introduce us to with successive marine and port images, his personal stamp, and a mystery music conceived by Oreste Fiengo. The Italian composer surpasses himself in each of his creations, although, to put it a but, in this case it does not combine very well with the story told in the film.
In the first seconds we are already aware that such a meager plot is going to be based mainly on the beauties of the protagonists: Angela herself, and her sister Sarah, vaccinated against love and settled in the Caribbean country for almost two decades, in which is dedicated to equestrian breeding and training with its company Bayahibe Equus.

Angela cools off in the Hotel Caserma pool while Sarah watches her from the shore. A bucolic scene in this Bayahibe hotel ideal for the middle class. Angela has been taking medication for a few weeks now to deal with her lack of appetite, although she is not very hungry yet. On the contrary, she seems excited at many times of the day and looks lividly at the muscular boys who walk through the reception. He doesn't understand the reason, but he doesn't dislike his new promiscuity, a promiscuity that, for the moment, is reduced exclusively to checking and dripping, and has not escalated.
The host, Sarah, cannot constantly attend to her sister because of the numerous affairs she has throughout the neighborhood. In the next scene he goes with a satyr to the beach of Isla Saona to satisfy his basic needs. In the worldview of the Neapolitan filmmaker's work, these comings and goings to the beaches are the result of a frustrated search for freedom. The sea is hope and the future, and it is on the sand of the beach where it brings out all the potential of actresses and promising young actors.
"You´re crazy. Bye"
On the first night, after sunset, the sisters talk around a delicious fruit still life crowned by a huge and appetizing watermelon. Around this refreshing menu of fructose and juice, Sarah tells Angela that she has already planned a visit to Dolphin Island, and of course, that she has located a good shopping center to burn the credit cards.
Angela barely eats a bite, because her mind is on other things and, in fact, it doesn't take long for her to confess it to her sister, so that she can facilitate a dalliance with one of the many islanders she knows. When they were younger, her older sister confessed that she was an expert at playing the flute, and Angela kept that song.
Fraternité instead of distance
Sarah is scandalized by her sister's inappropriate requests
Sarah was shocked when she finally understood the reason for her sister's visit. Angela is going crazy and rather than tarnishing her reputation in her beloved Prague, she has preferred to cross the pond to give herself over to love without worries and, above all, without leaving a trace. Now he will have to organize everything... although not to his chagrin, to tell the truth.
Sarah looking for men
Angela gets impatient... The clock barely moves
Finally Sarah returns and brings him two gifts: a cowboy hat, to go along with her sister's equestrian business, and also the news that she is going to visit a bee farm to learn about honey production in the Dominican Republic. Angela seems a little disappointed, but she also knows that honey is nutritious and that this type of tourism could be useful when it comes to encouraging her to try a bite.

Something similar to "a swarm on someone else's land" is what happens next to this pool...
The bee farm is in the Punta Minitas 12 villa, which can be rented for 4000 euros per day
Regarding beekeeping in the Dominican Republic, it is necessary to highlight that it emerged during the dawn of colonization, already on Columbus's fourth voyage, when he introduced the variety of bee called Hispaniola and commonly known as the Dutch Black. This differs from other varieties because it produces very dark brown honey. Currently, it contributes its grain of sand to the Dominican gross domestic product both through the sale of production and through guided tours for tourists looking for something more than sunbathing and bathing in the Caribbean Sea.
Driking a lot in hotel Caserma
The sisters catch up, but Sarah soon realizes that her sister has become an insatiable succubus and this worries her, as well as delights her. Her frigid sister has been completely transformed.
From a plot point of view, we are faced with a monotonous and perfunctory Bellocchio, more difficult to digest than a screw sandwich, although it must be recognized that it masterfully stages the way in which two sisters resume a relationship battered by distance, and open up so much their hearts like the chests that keep their darkest secrets.
At her establishment and kennel, Bayahibe Equus, good old Sarah shows up wearing a top that looks more like an eye patch, with the aim of implicating several crooks in her little sister's impudent experiences. Specifically, we are shown one of them of French nationality who seems straight out of Gandia Shore and who communicates by flaunting a comical pichinglis. This pleasant conversation allows us to deduce that there is great complicity between them, without going into more details.
Whoever was saddle...
A dishonest, but unforgettable vacation...
However, not everything was going to be room pleasure, and now that Angela has burned enough calories, it is time for her to eat properly, and nothing better than the characteristic dippeo of the island, influenced by the Mexican coasts and tourism. yankee, which allows you to taste nachos and corn tortillas with delicious spicy sauces, melted cheddar cheese or healthy guacamole.
Dipping! (IA picture)³
DIP is a diminutive of dipping sauce, and consists of dipping a solid food in a special sauce. It originated on the border between the United States and Mexico, so it belongs to the classic Tex-Mex cuisine that can be tasted in the Buffalo Grill french restaurants. Sarah considers that it is a better plan to regain strength and gain energy for what is to come, since food and carnal activity feed off each other.
Last boat trip before comeback
In the makeup section, a special mention must be made of Lucia Furino who, due to the needs of the script, is forced to change the ages of the protagonists. In real life, Tarra Wait was 21 years old and Kathia Inmobili was 24, but in their roles as sisters Tarra (Sarah) is the oldest and most experienced, while Kathia (Angela) is only 22 years old.

Who has seen you and who sees you, my little sister? Until next time...
The big question that remains is whether the pharmacist misunderstood the doctor's handwriting, or whether, simply, Dr. Kohoutský, displaying ingenious lateral thinking, knew very well what he was prescribing, and chose to revive the appetite. food to Angela, sex through... Or perhaps he was even looking for a second medical consultation in the future with an Angela more predisposed than ever to whatever arises...
In short, one more film in the tropical saga that, although it adds little to Bellocchio's work, serves to consolidate it a little more and bring the Italian artist's brush closer to the always refreshing and summery nouvelle vague.

A very brief panoramic view of a subtly colonial enclave places us directly in the paradisiacal destination. In a matter of seconds, we will be immersed in a matrimonial argument full of long faces and rudeness. There are many open wounds in the couple we see on screen, and their stormy relationship will be the common thread throughout the film.
Max Bellochio decides to start this new edition of Private Tropical already in paradise, leaving the opening in Europe for another time. The camera flows around the island of Martinique, specifically the Ilet Thierry , and soon focuses on a pontoon that leads to an old hotel.
The film starts with a front shot of a Rodius-style van, approaching to the camera. What will it carry inside? Well, a film crew that has chosen a heavenly Caribbean destination to shoot a spot to promote an energy drink. Marketing works like this, associating sensations and experiences with a specific product, to win over potential buyers and force them to buy when they go to the supermarket.
En la orilla del mar, sobre las finas arenas blancas del Caribe, yace un mafioso ataviado con un impoluto sombrero Trilby y una gafas de sol de color azul eléctrico propias de un villano de la saga Austin Powers.

Una historia de dinosaurios que se precie debe dar comienzo en un aeródromo. Los exploradores son asiduos usuarios de estos polvorientos lugares con hedor a queroseno, sudor, aceite de motores, y un espíritu de adrenalina y aventuras dominándolo todo. Primera parada: el Aeródromo Base ULM de Cambaie cerca de Saint Paul, en la Isla de Reunión.
A melodious tropical tune greets us in the opening credits of Max Bellocchio's Caribbean Dream. The title of this film is a clear nod to the American dream, but with palm trees and daiquiris in the equation. The composer, as this filmmaker is accustomed, is Oreste Fiengo and endless confused images are shown to us in an agitated way. We are facing a new Caribbean tragicomedy loaded with love affairs, scams and ship fuel.
