What happens

The Girl with the Golden Panties (Spanish: La muchacha de Las bragas de oro) is a 1980 film directed by Vicente Aranda and released through Morgana Films. It stars Victoria Abril and Lautaro Murúa. The plot follows a middle-aged writer as he is visited by his niece and her friend in hopes to cover a highly fabricated memoir he is writing, and he is caught up in their game of seduction as his lies are unraveled. The film was based upon the novel of the same title by Catalan author Juan Marsé. La Muchacha de las Bragas de Oro explores the changing nature of a former fascist and is a reflection of Spain facing its past during Franco's regime. The film, a co-production between Spain and Venezuela, exhibits a sexual frankness which was off-limits in Spanish films made before 1975. The film was shot in Sitges and in Barcelona.
