What's a real movie?
It's a film about the reality, yes.
It seems that for some people reality is not enough...

I rented that DVD a couple weeks ago.... crap! I could barely sit through it. It was soooo boring. Beautiful setting, but the plot is pretty skimpy.
Old maid private girl school teacher, frequent visitor, queen bee of the sex tourists, has her sankie, dances merengue, loves paradise, gives him some space, he hooks up with another return guest younger, possessive, they dine in the hotel restaurant together breaking the rules, there is lust, jealousy, they fight, he fights with the old Maid, runs to his beautiful Haitian ex-girlfriend, now lover to the General
they get caught together, executed, naked bodies wash up on the beach.
Old maid wonders if they were doing the deed, chews out the young tourist, lays blame, goes home to the States with tears in her eyes 'cuz she really loved him that beautiful boy.
There you have it.
