constantly in each others bed ?


I noticed some reviewers mentioned the people in this movie being "constantly in each others bed" and, overall, having a lot of physical contact with each other. Being a cold nothern guy from a cold nothern country, I noticed this too while watching the movie. That kind of constant physical intimacy is very strange for me.

Is this the typical way of being in Latin America? Or was it overdone in the movie?

They seem to have boundary-issues. But, it's heavily implied that the elder siblings have incestuous feelings for each other. The shower scene supports this.

I didn't really pick up any incestuous vibe in the film, but I did see the younger people seeking solace from one another when all the adults were being so miserable. The most poignant of all was the 15-year-old daughter getting very attached with the young maid.
