A lonely man's search for companionship soon takes him to dangerous and unexpected places in this erotically charged drama. Luis Antonio Vargas (
Antonio Banderas) is a successful coffee salesman living in Cuba in the 1880s. Luis has had little luck finding love among the women of his native island, and he sends away to America for a mail-order bride. To his pleasant surprise, his fiancée from the United States, Julia Russell (
Angelina Jolie), turns out to be not only beautiful but passionate and devoted. But Luis' happiness proves to be short-lived when he learns that Julia is not the person he imagined her to be, and detective Walter Downs (
Thomas Jane) appears, trying to get to the bottom of Julia's mysterious past and possibly deadly secrets.
Original Sin is based on the novel
Waltz Into Darkness by
Cornell Woolrich, which
Francois Truffaut previously adapted for the screen as
La Sirene du Mississippi.
