This movie can be seen in different ways: as pornography, as ... as ... what ever. Two women in a bar start talking to each other and on their way to their hotels, one of them invites the other for another drink to her "Room in Rome". Natasha and Alba. They cross the pornographic line and .... do like what they do, as it seems. Looked at from the front it is indeed pornographic but seen what happens from behind, turning and looking back, it is different. As one of them tells herself in the mirrors bathroom: "You will always be my mirror." Nothing can be alike and everything will be different. One is on her way to her sisters wedding, the other to the airport and back to Russia. But will it be for both as the end suggests something else: "Alba", "What?", "Look!", rushing after the other. Whatever happens after and beyond, they do belong to each other after this nights events. "Yes, I love you", "With fantasy's or not?", "Both". Of course pornography, what else? It is the front what we look at, without seeing what is behind. This is real for them: "No fantasy's. I feel it with absolute clearness. The gates opens for us. Don't you hear them? Close your eyes"

In society we have the tendency to look without to see as it is more comfortable. A handicapped with a normal capacity of thought is by not a few looked at and judged. But those few who dare to active "see" can be rewarded. It is this what happens in this movie: active see beyond the obvious that cheats.
