Sexo por Compasion

2000
Kindhearted Dolores (Elisabeth Margoni) has just lost her husband because she's much too nice -- in bed, that is. Unable to stop her good deeds, which entail sleeping with nearly every man who asks, Dolores becomes notoriously popular in her town. The once-gloomy place has now morphed into one filled with joy, thanks to her "work." But all she wants is to be back with her beloved, who seems curiously immune to her feminine allure.
