Room in Rome	comment	Room in Rome is a 2010 Spanish erotic romantic comedy-drama film directed by Julio Medem.Two women go to one's hotel room in Rome after meeting in a bar earlier, where they end up having a tryst. One, Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) is Russian, the other, Alba (Elena Anaya), is Spanish, and they are both soon to be leaving for their respective countries the following morning. The circumstances of their meeting is left vague. While in the room they exchange stories about their lives, many of them false, but maybe with a grain of truth behind them, and grow closer as the night wears on.The film was shot on a small budget. The entire action takes place in that single room and the entire story is driven by the acting and dialogue of the two leads. During the course of the action, each character takes on many different names. The article will refer to them by the names that they first give to each other: Alba and Natasha.

Room in Rome / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
Room in Rome / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: Five different languages are spoken over the course of the film. English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, and Basque. Not all versions of the film have subtitles to translate these different languages. If you can understand Russian and Spanish, though (or get a version with subtitles), you can get some pretty interesting revelations. At one point the two leads start talking to each other in their native tongues, and it becomes clear that Natasha has her own Bilingual Bonus going on: while Alba mostly gives some generic revelations about how she feels in the situation, Natasha's dialogue is a response to Alba's - because while the latter can't speak Russian, Natasha speaks fluent Italian and understands Spanish. Alba calls her out on this later on.

Room in Rome / int_42215dce	comment	Ambiguous Ending: Alba and Natasha talk about separating from their partners and leaving their previous lives so they can stay together in Rome; in the moment's enthusiasm Alba mentions how she wants to see Natasha run, and Natasha promises she will. Eventually, however, Natasha can't bring herself to leave everything behind, so they agree to keep the secret and go their separate ways. They walk away from each other after holding hands for one last time - and right when you'd expect the credits to roll, Natasha calls out to Alba and runs across the screen in her direction. Is she just keeping her promise to let Alba see her run, or has she changed her mind and is enacting a dramatic, life-altering decision? You decide.

They fall passionately for each other and have an intense one night stand.
