Laura
is an internationally famous stripper performing at a nightclub in Buenos
Aries. After her fortune-hunter boyfriend Albert is murdered, she inherits
half a map to a treasure, buried somewhere in the Amazon. The other
part of the map belongs to Albert's former associate Ivan, a geologist
living in Brazil. She immediately hooks up with him. Although the quest
will be very difficult, leading them into headhunter Aucas territory
["from which no white man has ever returned"], she convinces
Ivan to accompany her by doling out sexual favors. The story soon escalates
into an adventure of lust, passion and bloodshed which culminates in
Laura's capture and forced participation in the 'sexual passage ceremony
of new warriors.'
Libertad
Leblanc was born Libertad María de los Ángeles Vichich
Blanco in Argentia. She became Isabel (CARNE)
Sarli's eternal rival throughout the '60s and '70s and was often called
"La actriz más famosa de Sudamérica" [the most
famous actress in South America]. Unlike Isabel Sarli who made all her
films in Argentina, Miss Leblance shot movies with directors in Mexico,
Brazil, Venezuela and, of course, Argentina. She is known for her platinum
blond hair, alabaster-white skin and her perchance for playing delinquent
women with an active libido. She retired in 1990 after 30 years in the
cinematic spotlight.
